Easter Projects: Late




Well I wasn't able to get these up before Easter this year. One I did them like the week before Easter and two well I have been horrible with my blog LOL. I wanted to go ahead and post them thought because on of the banners you can make for anything really it was easy and fun to make.

So the first one is my Happy Easter banner. This was done with the banner die on the Tie the Knot cricut cartridge. First the banner was cut in the yellow card stock then the patterned paper was cut out. I made the flower part with card stock and then the letters are chipboard letters that I painted then flocked with Martha Stewart flock. I used the fun paper Easter grass behind each of the flower letters. I used my hot glue gun for the whole project including gluing the banners to ribbons to hang.

The second banner is my peeps banner and I so love how it turned out it looks just like peeps doesn't it. I got the idea for this one form a blog which you can check out here at V and Co
I printed out her template for the peep and then cut them out of felt then sew two together. I didn't sew mine on ribbon like she did, I found this great rope and just hot glued them right on. The eyes and nose is done with a pencil eraser and brown fabric paint. This one took no time at all to do and I plan on make several more next year to give away to friends and family.

Thanks for stopping by and I will have more projects up in the next couple of days.
