Fall Welcome Banner

Create this easy banner to welcome friends and the fall season!

Materials: JOY iron-on letters - 1 ½” red Burlap ribbon  -20" x 6”w 1/2" Wood dowel -8” 2 Wood spools to fit ends of dowel Markers in fall colors Felt scraps

Die cutting machine and leaf die 

Acrylic paint, paintbrush String, scissors, fabric glue

Instructions:

1.  Paint the dowel and spools. Set aside to dry.

2.  Die-cut felt leaves. 3.  Cut a 20" length of burlap ribbon. Fold over the top edge to create a sleeve for the dowel. Glue or sew in place then slide the dowel into the opening. Glue a wood spool to each end of the dowel. 4.  I used red embroidery letters on a white backing.  If desired, color the backing around embroidered letters with a marker. I used yellow, gold and orange. Brush over the ink with water to blend the colors and create a watercolor effect. Follow the package instructions to iron the letters to the burlap.  5.  Glue the felt leaves to the banner then create a fringe at the bottom edge by pulling away strands of burlap. Tie a string to each end of the dowel for a hanger.
