Easter Banner

Sarah and the Valentines Banner

I create things all the time. I love it. Most of the things I create I see and copy - PINTEREST!! Or twist an idea to something that works. I really love to create with friends and family. They seem to keep me focused on the project more and chat at the same time.

I made a valentines banner with my friend Terina a couple of weeks ago. Then I thought how fun to have an Easter one. So I made one all by my lonesome. Any of you that know me I have a buttload of fabric - and scraps come easy. I am always looking for a way to use my 3 inch strips of fabric. lol.

The eggs and hearts are 2 3/4 inches tall by 2 inches wide. The banner backgrounds I cut 6 inches long and then folded over an inch over the ribbon and sewed them right onto the ribbon. I just used wonder under stuff to adhere to the fabric and the backing. I sewed a bright color thread around the edges so it wouldn't fray too bad. A little is good - But I didn't want the whole thing to unravel. Pretty simple pimple project to do. Love it.

Vero Hero came last week and now is off to Utah to visit a friend there. Can't wait for her to come home. Mikes been out of town but that's ok - it gives me more freedom to CRAFT!!!
