Inspiration Friday- Banners!!

Happy Friday! I am back with my final blog post for May. Today I am going to share a little DIY on banners. They are really popular right now and can be found in almost every manufacturer line out right now. I personally love them, I want to put them on all of my projects. Before I give you the instructions on how to make yourself some banners for your projects, I want to share a card that I made. Yes, it does have a banner.

Many Thanks

For this card I used Simple Stories: Ele.ment.ary line.

Banner's are super easy to make. Most of the time I freehand them, but I have lots of friends that say they can't cut freehand. So this is for them......

Scallop Banner

I used a One inch circle punch for this banner. You can go larger or smaller depending on your project.

• punch several circle's with your circle punch
• fold each circle in half
• cut each circle in half along the folded line
• arrange the half circles on your project to create a banner

Triangle Banner

• cut several pieces of paper to 1x1.5
• fold each piece in half
• cut at the fold to the outer corner (diagonal)
• unfold and arrange your triangles in a banner

Flag Banner

• cut several pieces of paper to 1x1.5
• fold each piece in half
• at about .25 inches cut from the fold to the bottom corner
• unfold and arrange your flags in a banner

Super easy and way cute! There are so many things you can do with these banners, the possibilities are endless. I like to mix up the different shapes, add twine, draw on stitching or add letters.

I hope you found this DIY helpful and it inspires you to add a few banner's to your projects.

Thanks for stopping by!
