My youngest turned eight this week, and I created a birthday banner from October Afternoon's Fly a Kite line.
I learned how to make these banners from the wonderful Kelly Lunceford - her banner tutorial made this project very easy to create.
I have three children, the 'happy birthday' banner will be the same for each child's birthday. I'll just create separate banners with each individual child's name on it to hang on the right side bay window. On the left bay window I plan to make another, larger-in-size banner with the age of the child, but the chipboard numbers aren't here yet...lol...
Kelly is a genius! Chipboard letters are kaisercraft large lowercase that I inked direct-to-paper with Distress Black Soot followed by dabbing and smoothing out the color with a Adirondack Black Dabber. Banner bases measure 4" x 6" and the flowers are 12" x 1-1/2". I followed the directions for the banner link above. Thanks for stopping by today!
