Ok. I'm a rebel. I do love me a good banner.
But there's something to be said about making those banners something else.
It's like in kindergarten when I wanted to color my turkey pink and my teacher said that the turkey's body had to be brown and only the turkey feathers could be colored. Apparently my childhood teachers didn't appreciate the off-track creativity.
So today's post is using those banners in fun ways. :)
So today's post is using those banners in fun ways. :)
I trimmed the banners and for some of them, I made them a little shorter. Used my handy dandy scallop border punch to create the borders.
Then adhered the dress bits together and rolled up the edges of the dress.
The hanger... well, I pulled that off an old Christmas card...
I'd love to find some at a craft supply store....
If anyone knows where to get some...
Get your party hats for tomorrow's release waltz! ;-)
(Supply List will be added later. Please let me know if you have any questions in the meantime.)

Very cute Belinda... but am I the only one who's brain read "flabby"? :D
ReplyDeleteSeriously cute and such a clever way to use the banners.
ReplyDeleteThat's one of my pet peeves about art teachers... My daughter came home from elementary school in tears because she did her art wrong. Those are two words that should never ever be used together.

I adore the way you used these banner/flag pieces! They are terrific as a dress and party hats! Nice projects! I have 100s of craft dies and I love coming up with creative ways to use them. For your mini hangers, do check Supply Chains on Etsy. I think for 2" hangers, they have the best price. Also search miniature wire doll clothes hangers and miniature wire craft hangers for more sources. I'll bet as clever as you are, that you could easily make your own! Give it a try, then give us a tutorial! Heehee! :)
