Christmas Cheats: Beautiful Banner


Remember how I'm trying to keep it simple this year? That means not buying a bunch of new decorations ('cause I blew my budget on that wall full of ornaments last week!)

A sweet & simple banner, made from on-hand card stock, printed letters cut with decorative scissors, double stick tape and some craft stash ribbon was all I needed to create this banner faster than you can make a pitcher of sweet tea. I just love use what you have projects!

LOVE THIS! I'm such a sucker for anything with paper and text:) It's so great that you were able to use everything you already had too. I might have to try something like this myself;)

Cute, simple and using what you have - what could be better? :-)

So cute! I keep telling myself we're going to make a banner before Christmas, but I feel the clock ticking. Isn't that sad, I have a while to go but I feel like it's flying by!

I love what you did though, great job!

Cute - we're doing this in a smaller version for tree garland - it's a great project for kids if you need to keep little hands and minds occupied. They get very quiet. Ahhhh.

How cute! I love homemade banners.

I'm doing the same thing: using what I have this year. I think we have all learned, due to the rough economic times, that "things" shiny and new in the department store aren't nearly as important as what comes of our hands and our imaginations. Your banner is lovely!

What a great banner. Too often we get caught up in the frenzy of Christmas decorating, forgetting what Christmas is about. Love what you've done.
