Happy Birthday Banner...a really cute one!

My dear older sister Amy made me this for Christmas. I kinda felt like a jerk because my gift to her was not near as cute or time consuming. I LOVE this banner. I love these fabrics, I am still mad at myself for not buying more when the line was out. Maybe I can still find it.
She did triangles front and back, and cut the edges with pinking shears. Then she stitched them together. She did the cute letters on the computer, then cut them out of fabric in the pretty chocolate brown.
I already got to use it once already for my husband. I don't think he cared about the pink. And the girls were SO excited to hang it up.
Thanks Amy. I just love my cute Happy Birthday banner. Now I would like one for Valentine's, St. Patricks day, Mothers day, fathers day, fourth of july, Halloween, thanksgiving, and Christmas if that is not too much to ask...

C is for celebrate

Earlier in this crazy month, my co-crafterson Heather celebrated her birthday! I made this cute banner for her, and considering she has four daughters, I'm hoping it will be put to good use :)
These come together pretty fast, and they are also cute just plain without any letters. Use a ruler and cut out a triangle from an old cereal box to use as your template. Use pinking shears (zig-zag fabric scissors) to cut the triangles from your fabric, and they won't fray. Then all you have to do is sew the banner to a ribbon and you've done it! One thing I discovered with this one, I overlapped each flag a little and I like how it hangs a lot better than others I've made.

Won't that be great at birthdays and events? I don't even have one :( That's on my craft list. Happy New Year everyone !!! We're partying at Between Naps on the Porch, The Girl Creative, and A Soft Place to Land.
