This was so easy thanks to a fabulous invention called adhesive-backed cardstock.
No spray adhesive, very little mess (because I did it outside on the patio). Easy.
Supplies:
One roll of sheet moss from Walmart, 2 sheets of adhesive-backed cardstock (you could use spray adhesive if you can’t find this), scissors.
The How-To:
I used my Silhouette to cut the same shape template as my any occasion paint chip banner. I was able to fit 6 pennants on one sheet.
Peel off one pennant.
Stick it onto the sheet moss.
Cut around the shape.
Repeat until you have enough for your banner.
Later today, I will attach it to some twine, hang it up and maybe I can call the mantel finished!
It’s going to look great with my planter box and bloom sign . . .
Linking up to these great Link Parties!
Thank you to all the hosts!
Update: Here's the finished banner! See more of my Spring mantel here.

Hi Claire,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog and commenting on my nest artwork. I didn't even know it had been featured. Your banner is very cute! I didn't know that you could buy adhesive card stock. I'll be looking for some on my next trip into town. I really like the bloom sign you created and for only .30 cents...Wow! I'm your newest follower and looking forward to reading your blog.
This is just amazing! Thank you for the adhesive backed cardstock tip!! ;)
