Oh my do I have a treat for you and there are no tricks for of those of you that are recovering from Halloween night! Making banners is my first love of crafting and having Kiwi Lane Design templates in my back pocket made this whole project super easy to pull together. I have been wanting to have something special to snaz up my Thanksgiving motif and this little crafty number really speaks on the season.
Here is how I did it!
Materials Needed:
- Kiwi Lane Templates: Shapes 8T, 7T, Holiday 4T, Nature 4 and 1
- SEI Card Board Banner Kit
- Heidi Swapp Gold Lame Color Shine
- Cuttlebug Embossing Folders: Divine Swirls, Distressed Strips, Swiss Dots, Musical Florish
- Wooden Lettering
- Gold Glitter
- Buttons
- Hot Glue Gun
- Hemptique Hemp Cord
- Crinkle Ribbon
- Tulle
- Burlap
All I did was design a layout using the actual templates and then I sprayed down some wooden letters with Color Shine and dusted with Glitter. I then traced and cut out templates, ran through the embosser and inked edges. I confirmed placement and then stated to build each pennant by layering burlap, tulle, cut, then letter. I added buttons to finish and then ran hemp cord through the pennants, linking them together. I finished by cutting down three different colored crinkle ribbon and tied in between each pennant..
