Sweet Spring Pastel Banner

By: Virginia from Fyne Designs

Channel the best aspects of spring with your own homemade Sweet Spring Pastel Banner. Hang one in your home and display it as DIY wall art. If you want to decorate for a party or simply add a touch of color, this is a great project to try. Whether you're looking for Easter craft ideas or just want to usher in the warm and sunny season, you'll have a great time creating this banner. For this project, you'll need to purchase wood veneer at a local craft supply store. Use acrylic paint to transform the wood and add a touch of spring.

Materials:

Wood veneer shapes
Acrylic paint
Hot glue
Ribbon
Embellishments
Tulle flowers
Bow
Command hooks

Instructions:

I purchased the shapes I liked. Using acrylic paint, paint the wood veneer with a palette of spring appropriate colors. Use wood or hot glue to hold the layers together. Thread the pennants onto ribbon, and add embellishments if you desire.
Use wood glue to glue wood Veneer shapes together to create a sweet spring banner.
I added tulle flowers, similar to the ones I added on my recent gift card design. Plus added a satin May Arts Ribbon bow to the ends. Ties the whole thing together quite nicely!
Add a banner to a door frame with a command hook.
I usually make a banner or garland for each holiday to hang in my living room doorway, its the first thing you see when you walk in my house. You may remember this same doorway with a wood slice garland too.
You want to know a secret? I messed and fussed with inconspicuous ways to hang the garlands for a long time until I came up with this ultra easy solution…
It can stay there year round. It's clear so no one will see it.
I have small command hooks that stay on my door frame year round. When I don’t have a banner hanging they aren’t visible because the hooks are clear and have a low profile (there is also one in the centre of the door frame if I’m doing a drooping number)… I know, so easy!
