DIY Burlap Banner

Happy Thanksgiving! This post is a little more Christmas than Thanksgiving....but I am ready for Christmas!

I have something so fun to share today. I recently posted a picture of some crafty projects I made recently at a class I held here at my house. One of the projects was a "be merry" burlap banner and I had several emails asking questions, so I thought I would share how I made it!

When I first organized the class, I found a ton of pictures of burlap banners all over Pinterest. I instantly thought of these fabulous Lawn Fawn Stitched Party Dies and how cute they would be in burlap!

So I cut out several banners using the LF banner die and got to work. Over the time it took to make all the banners for my craft class, I realized that the burlap banner was pretty delicate and needed some reinforcement. I always use interacting when I cut fabric with dies, so I figured I could use the same with burlap. I found the "Wonder Under" in a heavy duty strength at Hobby Lobby and figured it would work great!

I decided to make a video because I am geeking out over these banners and had to share! Here is a the end result...

Here is the how-to video!

I decided to add in a little holly with felt and buttons to finish it off....
