Super Easy Patriotic Burlap Banner

During a trip to Hobby Lobby this week, I spotted this ready made burlap pennant banner. It was 1/2 off, so I purchased it.   You can easily make any kind of banner you would like. I decided to make a patriotic banner to add to my window booth space.  

 

 

The banner originally came with twelve burlap triangles.

 

 

 

 

I decided to make two identical banners, using only five burlap traingles for each banner.

I simply cut the banner in half and removed one triangle from each half.

I removed the triangle closest to where I cut the string so that I would have extra string on each end for hanging.

 

 

Next, I used a manilla folder and my Silhouette Cameo to create stencils.

 

 

 

If you do not have a die cutting machine, that's oaky, I've created stencils without it.

You can see more details about that here.

 

 

Then I painted the letters dark blue and the stars red.

 

 

 

 

That's it. I told you it was easy.

 

 

 

 

Enjoy your day and the beginning of summer!

 

 

'til next time,
