Hi there! I have been on a 4th of July decorating kick at my house!! Yesterday I made this fun Star Banner. I love banners....they are so easy to make and the sky is the limit with banners! I love making them for Holidays because they always add a little extra cuteness to my home for each holiday!
For this banner, I wanted it to be sort of rustic and not perfect. The raw edges of the fabric are a bit frayed and the stitching isn't perfect--but that's why I like it!
Let me show you how I made it!
Supplies:
Fusible Web
Red Thread
Red Embroidery Floss (to string them together)
1. You will need two circles and one star for each pennant. (print off template--at the bottom of the post--or make your own)
Line your star with fusible web.
Step 2: Place the two circles together and with a zig zag stitch, stitch around the perimeter of your circle..I did this twice on each circle..just so it would stand out more! Like I said, it doesn't have to be perfect!
Step 3: Iron your star on and zig zag stitch around it to secure.
Step 4: String them together with six-ply embroidery floss.
That's it! Super simple, but cute and festive!
Talk to you soon,

How pretty, perfect for this season!
Super cute!!! The "imperfection" really does aid in the antique feel of it.
