6/26/2019 0 Comments DIY: FOURTH OF JULY BANNER
Since the Fourth of July is just around the corner, I decided to DIY this cute patriotic banner. I didn't know if I was going to do another patriotic craft because I barely made one for Memorial Day. I made a popsicle stick American flag for Memorial Day but, you can make them for the Fourth of July too. You can easily find that blog post down below, keep scrolling down. These crafts are so easy to make and affordable.
1. First, choose two ribbons that are about the same size. You can choose any color or design you want.
2. Take your scissors and cut rectangle shaped pieces. Cut a triangle at the bottom to make the shape. Each piece I cut was (2.5 in x 1.3 in) or (6.5 cm x 3.5 cm). I decided to make a small banner but, you can make it any size you want. If you have trouble making the shape, you can look up a banner template to help you. Cut 6 to 10 pieces of each type of ribbon in case you mess up.
3. Take 3 of the burlap pieces you just cut, white paint, paint brush, and stencils. I used my stencil to paint one letter on each burlap piece to spell out USA. I messed up a couple of times with the stencil, that's why I cut extra burlap pieces.
4. Take 2 of the burlap pieces and star pins to decorate. You can paint them on or use a stencil if you don't have these pins.
5. Now take your jute cord and cut small pieces. Now glue the jute cord at the top of all the burlap/ribbon pieces you cut earlier.
6. Cut the excess jute cord from the sides of each piece.
7. Now string all your pieces together with jute cord. Flip all your ribbon pieces over and glue them to your jute cord.
8. Let your banner dry for an hour or overnight.
9. Now you are done and ready to hang your banner. Choose a spot, hang it up, and you're done.
