Grateful Banner DIY

I had some leaves left over from last week's project, so I was able to create another fall project.

Can you believe that I used a stapler to attach the leaves and tags?

 

This banner was super easy to make.

If you'd like to make one, here's what you need:

2 yards of brown ribbon

8 shipping tags

25 medium size silk leaves

stapler

large letter stickers or foam stamps and paint

optional: artificial gourds

 

You need to start by stapling tags about 2" apart on the brown ribbon.

I used the word "Gratitude," so I used eight tags.

If you choose a different word, you may have more or fewer tags to attach.

 

I used two staples to attach each tag.

 

Keep going until they all are attached.

 

Next staple the leaves.

I turned mine every which way to give them a more random look.

 

Staple leaves across the tops of all the tags.

 

Adhere your letters.

You can use large stickers, letters cut with a Cricut, or foam stamps with paint (like I did).

 

Attach a gourd to either end of the banner and one in the middle.

 

My gourds didn't come with string to hang,

so I attached twine with a straight pin and tied them to the ribbon.

 

Ta-da! Who needs a sewing machine to make a banner?!?

 

Thanks for stopping by and God bless.
