Christmas Banner
November 29, 2006
This is my Chritmas banner. I am soo thrlled with it. I used the paper below for the back piece and I cut out letters from Allsorts alphabet. I used red crepe paper for the gathered piece. I just pinched the paper in a circle and glued that onto the back piece and then glued the letter on. I ened up adding each letter onto the ribbon with a paper clip, which worked great. Now I and adjust the length of the garland. These picture do not show how wonderful this banner turned out. It gives a ruffled top to the cabnit. Soon I will show the whole cabnit.
I wanted to share if anyone is on Bainbridge Island this Saturday and Sunday, my friend Angie is having a craft show. She will be selling Waldorf dolls she made, wooden toys her husband made, frankincense, ect. I will be selling my figgy pudding ornaments and the children have made some items also. She lives on Manual Road. There will be a sign on the highway.
Ohh I LOVE it!!
Truly lovely!!
Great idea!!
xoxo Jenny
Happy Holidays!

I really like your banner Clarice. I love crepe paper. It's one of my favorite materials to work with.
Your Santas are wonderful! I have a small collection that I will unpack on Friday. I always look forward to it.
Good luck with the sale! Sounds like fun!

Clarice,
What a wonderful tradition piece for your Christmas collection.

The banner is great, Clarice! They are so much fun to make aren't they? I haven't figured out what I'm doing for my Christmas banner yet; will have to check out Allsorts alphabet. I wish I could visit the craft show ~ good luck!
