I can't believe my son is now 12. The years have flown by way too quickly. I don't want to blink anymore that’s for sure. His birthday is always fun yet bittersweet for me.
This banner is supper easy and can be done many different ways. For this project I used the following:
~burlap
~vinyl in Red, White, and Blue
~twine
~scrap fabric in Red, White, and Blue
~my cricut to cut out the vinyl
~sewing machine to sew the top with Red Thread of course
~a yarn needle
First, I cut my burlap into pendant style pieces. I used 16 for this project so about a 1/2 to 3/4 of a yard since they are not square. Then I cut the vinyl saying HAPPY BIRTHDAY JON with the cricut. IHeart the cricut!!! I applied the vinyl on the burlap and then I folded the burlap over and sewed a zigzag in red. 1/4 of an inch is perfect so that you can thread the twine thru with the yarn needle. Once the twine is threaded thru I hung the banner up and in-between each piece I tied a red, white, and blue piece of fabric strip. And in-between the fabric strips I tied a piece of twine also.
It will be a banner we use for years and years!
