I am not a big door decor lady, or a big holiday decorator either. I do love wreaths, but that is about it (and heck I only have my screen wreath out anyway)...but after making my birdie welcome banner...I am sold. I love looking at that sweet banner.
So, for the 4th I decided to make a U.S.A. banner!
So, for the 4th I decided to make a U.S.A. banner!
SUPPLIES:
- Canvas Corp, Canvas Shapes, Stars
- Canvas Corp, Canvas Shapes, Triangle
- Canvas CorpJute Rope, Light Natural
- Liquid Stitch and/or Heat and Bond
- Template for letters and stars. I printed them out on the computer in the right font and size...but my little helper stole them and made her own project. So I ended up using chipboard letters I had and traced a star.
- Red, white and blue fabric - assortment - use what you have!
- Ribbon for banner base.
- OPTIONAL:
- Tea bag/hot water and washing machine.
- Buttons
Cut out letters and shapes.
Layout out the design
Add detail
CELEBRATE!
How do you decorate for the 4th!?
Happy 4th!
Happy Summer!

Hi Holly, I just wanted you to know you inspired me this week to make a banner- similar to yours but not quite. I did everything with stuff I had around the house. Just wanted to say thanks and if you get a chance come by and check out what I did.
