SYS ~ Summer Banner

Today we welcome Jamielyn from I Heart Naptime.  I love Jamielyn's style and her blog is loaded with inspiration in all things crafty.  The color combination she used for this super cute and simple banner will brighten up any room.

Hi friends!

I’m Jamielyn from I {Heart} Naptime and I’m SO excited to be guest posting here today for the

Scrap Your Stash Event!

 

A little bit about me:

I’m married to my best friend and a mother of two beautiful children (Carson age 2 and Emmalyn 7 months). They keep me pretty busy (see for yourself) but all the snuggles and kisses make it SO worth it! My family is THE most important to me and always comes first.

I started my blog as a creative outlet in a little bliss during my day called nap time and it has evolved into so much more. On my blog you can find DIY Projects, Crafts, Recipes and lots more! I. LOVE. my sanity Nap time. i love creating. I love thrifting and thinking of all the possibilities that can be, from an old treasure. I’m all about decorating on a budget. I love to bake… and eat lots of cookies. I am learning to sew, and enjoying the process. I love trying new things, and I’m not afraid of messing up the first (or second) time around.

Today I’m going to share with you how to put those scraps to good use. For this fun summer banner you will need a long 1 inch piece of fabric, doily's and twine/string.

1. Grab your scraps (you should see me pile lol)
2. Cut (6) 1 in circles (per 1 flower) and a strip 1 in x 6 in (per 1 flag)
3. Fold circle in half like a taco
4. Then fold in corner like a pizza. Then put your needle and thread (tie knot on end of thread) through the point of the “pizza.” Then repeat 6 times to create a full flower. Secure flower with a knot.

5. Fold Doily in half and place glue in the center.
6. Glue flower to Doily.

 

7. For flag bunting fold 1 in strip in half.
8. Fold in half again (like a hotdog). Make a diagonal cut from folded edge to outer edge.
9. You will now have the perfect cut on both edges. :)
10. Place string and a little glue in middle of strip. Then fold over in place.

 

Next space the doiley’s and flags along the twine and glue accordingly. Then enjoy your new bunting… made from all those scraps you were going to throw away! ;)

It’s also fun to stick these flag banners on lollipop sticks in a cupcake. Get creative, the possibilities are endless!

Thanks for having me today! I’d love for you to come visit me (or chat via fb or twitter) during nap time. ;) Grab a scoop (or two) of ice cream and make yourself at home!
