Easter Banner

Easter Banner


I put all of the St Pattys stuff away last night so we are On to Easter! 
....which is sneaking up on us this year.

Easter Banner
I made this last year with the little chipboard kits from Michaels. I thought of it for Easter but then went a little crazy with the idea and made chipboard banners for Summer, 4th of July, Back to School, and Autumn....I will post those at a later date but if you see the chipboard kits, grab them because they dont last long.
The kits come 5 pieces for $1!  Easter has 6 letters though...so I just traced a flower onto a piece of chipboard that I had and cut it out with scissors.  Then I covered them all with coordinating papers, using mod podge.  Next,  I glued on white chipboard letters to spell EASTER and embellished them with ribbons, flowers, and jewels.  Lastly, I punched holes into the tops of them and tied them to a wide pink ribbon.

Earth Day Recycled Banner

Earth Day Recycled Banner


Decorate for Earth Day with this Easy Recycled Banner!
If you know me, you knew I would be making one!

I love hanging a banner for every Celebration around here, Earth Day is no exception. 
Here is how we made this Recycled one:

You will need:
paper bags
your recycle bin (full)
white school glue
jute rope (or any yarn)
stapler
scissors

Lay out your paper bags (with the part that open at the top) and write your message on them with regular white school glue.   My kiddos picked "Love (heart) Earth".  Then let the kids rip, cut, smash, or crumple, and then stick various items from your recycling bin onto the glue. 

Fold the top over. 
Then staple onto the jute rope.
 
For added color, cut triangles from colorful cardboard and staple between the letters. 
Here are some of our letters
Love Earth Super Mommies!
