No Sew Burlap Banner

I am linking up to Melissa's Party....check out other great projects.

under $10 under 1 hr party 2012 320 Sycamore

I love these burlap banners that are everywhere now.
I've been wanting to try one and Thanksgiving crafts is the perfect time.
I bought my burlap at JoAnn's.
I had no idea there were so many different kinds and shades.
Anyway, get your burlap and decide on a banner shape.
If you have a two year old that ripped your Halloween
banner then you may as well cut it up and use that as your template.
Just saying, IF that were to EVER happen.


I just used a sharpie to softly outline my shape and then I cut them out.

 Next fold and iron down the top to make a seam for the string.
Remember to turn the pieces over so that any sharpie lines are on the back.

Because I am a NO sew kinda gal mainly because I don't know how to turn on my sewing machine,
I just ran a hotglue line in the seam and stuck my string in there.

Next I used the Cricuit to cut out some letter stencils.

Well, I used my friends Cricuit because, it's bigger and cuter and she left here.
Tape down the stencils and dab on your paint with a sponge brush.

Do this at naptime if at all possible.
 
And that's it!!
You have a beautiful fall banner!
 

 
I love it.
Go try it.

I also have one other Fall Project Under $10 and Under 1 hour HERE.
I am definitely making Melissa's cinnamon candle!
