Baby Banner

I had soo much fun making this banner for my daughters baby room.  First, I cut out the banner shapes.  I used a double layer of duck cloth.  Next I painted on my designs with acrylic paint.  Polka dots, stripes, plaid, and I also used a couple of different stencils I had.  After they dried, I sewed the back layer onto each and aged the edges with brown acrylic paint.  I cut letters out of brown cardstock using my cricut (storybook program).  I clued each letter onto the pennants with elmers fabric and craft glue.  I then attached each pennant to a thin length of brown ribbon and tacked it in place with needle and thread.  That's it!   It turned out so shabby and cute!
