This banner is perfect for the entire Fall season and easy to hang almost anywhere to catch the eye. It's made using felt and fabric panels with the perfect flower of the season adorning the center of each.
This project was made using felt, fabric and assorted types of paper. The entire project can be made using papers of course. I like the variety that other materials can give to a project.
Materials Used:
Felt
Fabric
Assorted cardstock (greens, brown yellows, orange, rust)
Flat ribbon or cording
Glue
Inks
DIes:
Card Caddy (#665981)
Sunflower (#666045)
Card Panel, thin-lit (#666534)
Skelton Leaves (#663094)
Holiday Greens, pine branch (#658759)
Process
- Two base flags can be cut from the card caddy die. Refer to photo to show where to cut to form two flags.
- The card panel can be trimmed slightly on the two side edges to make a bit of framing. Refer to photo.
- Cut the base flags from felt. NOTE: These can also be made from papers if desired. Cut as many base flags that you'd like for the banner.
- Cut fabric with card panel thinlit die for each of the base flags. NOTE: If using fabric, it's best to stiffen it with either a faric stiffner or using some forn of interfacing, the fabric will cut better. If using paper, not need to worry.
- Cut 2-3 of the smaller sunflower petals for each flower.
- Cut 2 of the sunflower leaves for each.
- Cut 1 sunflower center for each.
- Cut 2 of each other leave die or pine branches for each.
- Shape the sunflower petals for added dimension. Add ink if desired for shading.
- Add white and/or black dots to the brown centers for added dimension if desired.
- Glue card panel shape to the felt base flags.
- Arrange the sunflowers and greenery onto fabric panels and glue all pieces into place.
- Finish by glueing each flag onto a flat ribbon for hanging.
- Hang your new decoration!
