Halloween Bash: Large Banner
Friday, October 5, 2012 at 6:00AM 
This is part of our Halloween BASH. See a listing of all projects so far at the end of the post.
*SUPER COOL HUGE BANNER
- add lettering and embellish with flowers, leaves, buttons and more. I used recycled chipboard from packaging, 1/2 yard total of fabric and printed my own lettering at home. Embellishments were goodies left over from halloween cards i made last year.
Total - under $8.00
Let's get started:
I ripped a strip of muslin that was twice as long as the length of my word banner laid out. I spaced the letters out on the muslin strip the way I liked it then folded it over the top of each letter and stitched on machine.

Enjoy!

Good morning, Rae! I love the banner! I was going to make one for a swap but it got bumped down on my to-do list. Yours is great and you even are generous with the how-to! I do have one comment about spray adhesive... it never seems to work properly for me and I know a lot of artists us this. Don't know what I am doing wrong but it doesn't adhere evenly. Hmmmmm...
Hi Kadee-
I will tell you this about the adhesive-I have found that I have to put a pretty thick coat on things like chipboard. I am just learning to experiment with it myself, so will keep you posted on what I learn!
Have a wonderful and creative weekend,
Rae
