Are you ready? It is less than a week away. Need a quick, super easy, very inexpensive Easter banner?
Chances are you just may have all the supplies in your stash.
Supplies:
-a book (Once upon a time I was a member of a book club and bought tons of books for pennies! So I have plenty to spare and trash.)
-scrapbook paper
-letter stickers
-string, ribbon, jute or whatever you fancy for hanging the banner
-scrap fabric optional
-stapler
I used pinking shears to cut my paper. Next attach letter stickers to scrapbook paper. I could not decide if I wanted to spell out E-A-S-T-E-R or S-P-R-I-N-G. Either would have been cute.
Then measure how long you want the banner to be. This ended up WAY bigger than I thought so I had to put it on my china cabinet. These book pages are 6x8 inches. I didn't measure the banner before I hung it, but my china cabinet is 5ft. 2 inches long. So the banner is a little longer than that since it is hanging down some.
It looked fine, but I thought it was missing a little something. And I did not want a bow. So I added scrap fabric at the ends hanging with excess string.
Perfect! Done. Just what I wanted a simple Easter banner. So if you are looking for a little something to add to your dining area for Sunday you could easily throw this together on Saturday night.
Now to make a shopping list for those Easter baskets.
What are you working on this week to prepare for Easter Sunday?
