Burlap Banner Tutorial & Baby Shower Things


I just wanted to share with you

a little bit more of my girls baby shower

things I am working on ~


They are going to have a combined

shower so that will be fun!

I showed you Kristin's invitations

in a previous post and here

are Stephanie's too ~



It is going to be all vintage and

creamy tones ❤ ~

Today I worked on some little

burlap banners with their babies names

and wanted to show you the steps to

make them ~

They are super easy and can be

done any size ~


First I use Avery brand white

shipping label sheets ~


Peel

of the backing and stick it on to

a piece of muslin ~


Cut right on the edge of the sheet

and run it through your printer

(print on the muslin)

I just did the name in photoshop ~


Next cut out each letter and peel

off the backing ~


Cut out burlap triangles and pin

and sew the letters to them ~


Fold down the top and sew down

leaving the ends open to run a

piece of jute through it ~


I also zig zagged the edges all

the way around because I didn't want

them to fray away ~


That is it !


Here are some tissue pompoms that

I am also making but need to make

a few more ~ They are fun !


More shower pics coming soon!

I love the banners with their names and love their names. How sweet that they are both expecting at the same time.

God bless your family.

Did you print directly on the muslim? Or on the shipping label that was stuck on to the muslim? In the photo it looks like the letters are directly on the muslim?

The invitations and banner are adorable!

I love what you did with burlap. The invitations are wonderful as well as the banner. I haven't been bold enough to run fabric through my printer yet, maybe sometime.
