DIY Banner
Easy, peasy, no sewing required.
It’s my first, so I know you can make one!
On this day, the sale items at Goodwill were the yellow tags.
Love getting all this fabric for half price!
I found just what I was looking for 🙂
Directions
I made a paper template and used my pinking shears to cut out triangles. (no picture of this)
I created a 1 1/2 inch space at the top, so I could fold it over the string and use my hot glue gun.
I had 4 different colors, so I cut 4 triangles of each color.
I spaced them every 5 inches, you could put them next to each other too.
They just blow in the wind 🙂
They are perfect for this outside setting.
And don’t you just love the colors?

June 18, 2012 at 11:19 amI love your banner, and I think I am in love with them too. Recycling clothes we have or from the thrift store (especially half price!) is such an awesome way to buy fabric. Fabric has become crazy-expensive! I will need to dig thru my “fabric” now and get going 🙂
Have a great week- Tanya

June 17, 2012 at 2:44 pmSo pretty, Debbie! I may never look at clothes the same way! I am not a “fabric” girl because I don’t sew, but I never really thought of using old clothes to turn into fabulous no-sew creations! Thanks for sharing! I hope you have a great time at Haven, I look forward to hearing all about it!

June 14, 2012 at 6:57 pmTurned out nice Ms. RR. I have make banner on my list too. I have part of the supplies but it won’t really be summery and inspiration has not completely hit me yet. Maybe we need a banner link party?

June 14, 2012 at 2:12 pmDebbie can I make a banner telling you how much I love your banner?
And I’ve just had a head clunking moment … I’m sitting here like I was just hit on the head with an anvil … but fabric from Goodwill finds? Right? Genius! And why have I never thought of that …?
I’m so excited that I think I need to race out to the Salvation Army right now …
🙂

June 14, 2012 at 9:46 amVery cute, and just perfect for 4th of July parties with the red, white and blue tones of the banner!
Very clever, Debbie!
Laura at Top This Top That says
June 14, 2012 at 7:34 amBanner is great but don’t I think that red dress would have looked fabulous on you!! 🙂
KIm@todayismysome-day says
June 14, 2012 at 8:27 amAgain, great idea on the fabric! I do shop my attic full of kids outgrown clothes for fabric too. Those dresses were saved from NEVER being worn again, I’m sure! Love the banner; so summery!
debbie says
June 14, 2012 at 8:02 amLove it too Debbie. I love banners too. They are so cute and colorful, and add that touch of whimsy.
Gina says
June 14, 2012 at 8:00 amThe banner looks great! Why have I never thought of a no-sew version? 😀

June 14, 2012 at 7:59 amYou have made a Student Council advisor VERY happy! We can use fabric to quickly (and cheaply) decorate our school halls for orientation! I’m thinking if I found sturdy fabric (denim?), we could use paint markers to write messages on them. =)
