I don’t know why but I’ve made more love banners this year that I’ve probably ever made.
This one I made with some chipboard pages from a mini scrapbook from the dollar section of Michael’s. They usually have some great shapes and you can’t beat 5 or 6 chipboard shapes for a dollar.
To start I used two sheets of patterned cardstock to cover the chipboard pieces.
I used some letter cards that I had in my stash but never used.
I grabbed some clear flowers and colored them with alcohol inks. Both are items that I haven’t crafted with in a long time.
The silver glittered embellishments were a dollar a package from Target.
They have some great items for $1 in the scrapbooking section.
I attached the flowers to the letter cards with an eyelet.
I also used a few eyelets in the already punched circles in the letter cards.
This Lucky in Love is from a sheet of scrapbook paper that I’ve cut up and used on a few Valentine projects.
I don’t have a lot of space to put all these mini banners so I set this one on my ribbon jars over the pinks and reds.
Looks good and it doesn’t take up much space.
Not bad for a couple dollar craft supplies and items from my stash.
The only things I’ve purchased recently is the chipboard album and the chipboard accents, the rest are items from my craft hoard supplies.
Supplies:
Chipboard album $1
Chipboard accents $1
Papers craft supply
Eyelets craft supply
Clear flowers craft supply
Alcohol Inks craft supply
Alphabet cards craft supply
Binder clips craft supply
Total cost: $2*
* plus craft supplies on hand
I’m sure you have similar or other items in your stash that you could use to decorate your own Love Banner.
