Easter Pennant

Hi everyone,
Karina here today with a creative idea for you... it is my first tutorial I post here as a new DT member, so I hope it will be something to inspire you. As it is Easter just around the corner I go with an Easter decoration; an Easter Pennant.

What you need:

• a pair of old jeans
• cardstock
• sewing machine
• twine
• Whiff of Joy Pennant die cut
• decorations

First cut out a piece of cardstock or kraft as a pattern. I made it 5,5 inch (14 cm) x 6,5 inch (16,5 cm) x 6,5 inch (16,5 cm). Then put it on one leg of your old jeans.

I used the seam as decoration for the upper part of the pennants. Cut out five pieces of those. Give it some more space on the top for the seam.

Take some twine in the length of 40 inch (100 cm), sew each of those five pennants around the twine that you have a line of five pennants at the end. I also made a zig zag stitching around each pennant. I haven't a photo of this, but when you see the pic of the finished project you will know what is meant.

Then stamp and colour three images and die cut it in a shape you like. I used three different ones, glued them on another shape and sew around.

On the first and last pennants I used the Whiff of Joy Pennant Die Cut to create two small pennants each and sewed them onto those parts.

Then glue the images to the three central pennants and decorate each pennant with flowers, feathers and more as you wish. 

Bond two loops on both ends and you're finished. Your pennant is ready to put on your wall or door, just where you want to have it.

My description of making this decoration may not be the best. But I guess while following the images you see how it works. If you have any questions about it just feel free to ask.

Have fun and hugs,
Karina

Holiday Banner by Michaela

Hello Everyone! I hope you're having a fabulous week. It's me - Michaela - the Guest Designer.

I am going to show you today how to make a lovely Holiday Banner.

Making a banner involves many different steps, so, please, bear with me.

You will need:

* Letters (spelling anything you wish - I chose MERRY CHRISTMAS)

- VersaMark, Embossing Powder & Heat tool

* Cardstock

* Designer paper

* Circle dies or punches

* Crepe paper strips

* Needle & thread

* Hole punch

* Ribbon

* Glue tape

* Colored Whiff of Joy Images & other embellishments (flowers, bows, etc. ...)

We will need to get from our basic supplies to the "almost done" supplies.

1. First I prepared my letters - I used plain cardboard chip letters and I embossed them with golden embossing powder.

2. My next step was to prepare the base for the letters. I die cut scalloped circles from my cardstock - 14 pieces - because there are 14 letters in "Merry Christmas" and basic circles from the designer paper.

3. I attached the designer paper circles to the cardstock scalloped circles.

4. Next I attached my embossed Letters -paying attention to the direction of my design. Just so it matches when it hangs :)

Here they are. All ready to be attached ...

... to the crepe paper.

5. To prepare the crape paper - I took the crepe paper strips and gather them together using needle and thread.

6. In the end forming a little fan. When you make those, make sure to tie a knot, so it doesn't brake.

7. Glue the ends together forming a little circle. That will be our crepe base.

8. Next I attached the Cardstock with the Letter to the Crepe Paper Fan Circle.

9. Then it was time to make the base for the Crepe Paper Fan Circle. I cut triangles from the green cardstock and 1/2 inch smaller triangle from the designer paper. I attached them together.

10. Next I attached the Letter base and the images to my triangles.

11. Time to hang those triangles on our ribbon. I hole punched a hole for the ribbon and ...

... slide the triangles (in the right order) on the ribbon.

You can embellish the final banner with flowers, bows, etc.

and voila! You're done! (you can click the pictures for a better view.)

Merry

Christmas

To see the detailed pictures of the Whiff of Joy stamps I used, you can visit my blog at CardHeaven later today.

And, of course, this banner is very versatile - you can make any kind you wish - Christmas, Halloween, New Year, Birthday, New Baby - Baby Shower, Wedding ...

Enjoy!!!

Hugs,
