While I have been a very lazy holiday decorator and do not have the skills for holiday decorating of my blog pal
Natalie, I have developed a little obsession with finding or making banners for our manner of holiday displays. (Seriously, you should check out this
post of Natalie's because her holiday decor is amazing!) I had been waiting and looking for a summer or 4th of July banner to pop up at Target or one of our other favorite stores, but it just never happened. I resolved to make a summer banner instead. This was a totally free project because I had the scraps of fabric and ribbon in my craft supplies. I think it turned out pretty well.

| I decided to make a Summer banner instead of just a 4th of July one so we could keep it up longer. I actually just bought a new mirror for above the fireplace to replace my wedding portrait. I had been wanting one for a while, and Kirkland's had a bunch on sale for $30. I need to take a picture of it because I think it makes the mantle look a lot better. |

| Valentine's banner(s) - for some reason, there are two. I thought I could move the smaller heart one to a shelf, but it was too short so I just left it. |
 |
| I had a Christmas banner hanging behind the stockings that I found at Target, but I need to find another place for it so you can actually see it. |

| The Thanksgiving banner I made. |

| I had made this little Fall banner first, but the scrap of ribbon I had was a little too short. I will have to change this up for this year. |
So there's my little banner obsession in a nutshell. Thanks, Target and Pinterest, for starting this obsession!
You and Natalie both put me to shame. After I read her post and your post, I have been thinking of ways to decorate my piano for each holiday and season. I guess I need to go to Target. =)
ReplyDeleteI like Natalie's decorations but I really LOVE your banners. I need to get better at holiday decorating! Maybe I should start commandeering the top of our piano to decorate...
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute! :)
ReplyDeleteAhhhh, thanks for the shout-out and link to my blog. You know me, I just love, love, love holiday decorating. I am also totally jumping on the banner bandwagon. Probably because this house is the first time I've ever had a fireplace mantel, and that is just the pefect place to hang one. I like all of yours, but I think the Give Thanks one is my favorite.
