Scrapwhisper Blog Hop

Hi everyone - you know it's 15th February today? Well - on the 15th of every month the Scrapwhisper DT hold a blog hop showcasing a project created by a member of our lovely DT. This week Nilsa is showing us how to make Banners!

So over to Nilsa........

You will need:

Patterned paper

Foam Adhesive for dimension

Tape Runner

PaperPuncher / Crop-o-dile

Chipboard Letters

Embellishments

Yarn or String

Acrylic Paint

I made my banner from a heart chipboard album, but these days you can find templates online, which you can resize. You can use any shape, size or template that you like.

1. I started out with patterned paper. I traced and cut out all 6 hearts.

2.    Then, I used my cuttlebug to cut out some spellbinders scalloped circles, which I glued onto my hearts.

3. Ink chipboard letters and add to your circles

4.   For my first and last heart I used some crepe and made a ruffled edge for my hearts.  (that is optional) I embellished to my liking (I used sticker cupid, crafty secret sticker and I cut out hearts from pattern paper}

5. I then added the string and hung my banner

Simple!

You can make your banner simple or elaborate. Also, you can find many different banners and tutorials online.

These are some banners which I have made in the past
