Oriental Trading - Fall Banner

Hello & Happy Tuesday Everyone!
How was your Holiday Weekend?
Mine was Crazy busy... Maybe I'll get some rest
during the October Fall Break! LOL

Today I wanted to show ya this FALL
Banner project I made using some wonderful
products I received from Oriental Trading!!

As most of you know... I like to make wood projects
along with making cards... and It's been awhile since I shared my
last home decor piece with you...  And now
with it being September - FALL is Screaming in my ear!
You ALL know I LOOOVE Fall... So, here's what
I made to spruce up my home --






First I started with some Unfinished Wood Pennants - Spray painting them in 
Fall colors like Orange, Green, Red, Mustard, & Beige -  After letting them dry,
I used the Fall Paper Pack Sheets to Die Cut my Letters Out -
I wanted it to say (HAPPY) then a space in between, then the
word (FALL) - Once those were all cut out, it was time to add
ALL my Embellishments --





It was really hard trying to get a picture of this banner - I was standing on a ladder
with my window shades open along with a bunch of lights on
in my living room! You should have seen me! I know all my neighbors did! LOL





Here's a close up of the HAPPY Banner pieces - 
I used some Natural Dried Raffia Ribbon on each pennant 
as a backdrop - Then added a layer of colored Burlap Leaf Shapes
on top of them. I used my Hot glue gun to secure them down - 
On some of the Letters I added some pretty Fall Gems.....




Now, the close up of the FALL banner pieces - I used some really pretty
Fall Paper Flowers on some of the letters and found these
adorable Fall Burlap Pumpkins & Artificial Acorns that really
 make my Fall Banner POP! 
In order to get it all hung together I used some 
5mm Just Cording, which really gave it 
that rustic Fall Vibe I was looking for!

Thanks for Checking out my Fall Banner!!!
You can find all these Fabulous Products in the 
Craft & Hobby Supplies section on the
Oriental Trading web site!


Have a Fabulous Day!!!

It turned out great, Theresa! Making banners is fun. So many canvases to decorate! But you're right, they're hard to photograph. :)
I love the leaves and twine. Those always scream fall to me, when everything becomes dry. We already have brown oak leaves falling in our neighborhood!

Have a great day!
