Burlap Banner Tutorial...

I love me some St. Patty's Day!  It is such a fun holiday and well any excuse to wear a shamrock rates pretty high in my book!  I wanted to decorate for the season and lets face things like this won't work, so after searching around I found this cute idea on Etsy, but decided that instead of paying 22 dollars + shipping I would make it myself (for less than 4 bucks!)

Get some burlap (I got mine at Walmart *shudder* for 2.98 a yard)

Cut out a template I just cut until it looked right.

I cut out 7 flags for each banner

Make a template for your design I drew a shamrock and then exactoed it out

Get your glue gun out, and some (jute) twine 

(I got the twine at Loews a few years ago for like 4 bucks)

Glue pennants to twine (this is the no sew version!)

Get your paint supplies out, I used two different green's and a glittery green

(I already owned these)

Put your template on the burlap and 'stamp' it on.  

Yes there is a baby foot in the corner of the picture 

*unruly children*

Let dry for 15 minutes and Voila'...

Cute and cheap!

From start to finish it took me less than an hour and I made two!  

Totally my kind of craft!
