My first banner...

Hello friends! :) So I made my first ever banner...and it doesn't involve paper...*LOL*. Found these cute little plastic squares with a floral design [I still have no idea what they are for actually...haha...just happy that I didn't have to cut any paper!] at the art store. Added a handmade felt bloom, some dangly clear beads at the bottom and a silver bow at the top. Love that they are strung on some pretty aqua beads. :)

P/s: I made a ton of stuff including the bridal bouquet, groom's boutonnierre, pom poms....will share pics from the event (this Sunday) soon. Wish me luck...I only have 2 hours to decorate the place! :) Happy weekend friends! :)

  9. Love love love love love love this!!!! I loveeeeeee those flowers and the plastic canvasses ... and PS... those are for needlepoint (similar to cross stitch but with yarn and only one stitch instead of two)... I used to do it when I was younger and my MIL still does! :):):):):):):):):):):)

  15. beautiful banner girl :)

    those are plastic canvas squares used to make coasters and such. you just use yarn or floss for stitching on them. i used to use yarn and do needlepoint on them :)

  28. Those look like plastic canvas pieces. You can find it very inexpensively over here... but not you've got me thinking... using plastic canvas in some creations, I may need to pick some up. Oh and the banner is truly unique and brilliant, the things you come up with amaze me!
