Banner-riffic

Boy do I have HALLOWEEN on the brain! I absolutely LOVE that holiday.

the colors, the excitement, the decorating, the candy {wink}

So I decided to make a new and different {for me}banner this year.

and here she is

 

I used 3 sheets of 12 x 12 papers - cut them in 1/2 {6in} then again in half {3 in} 

 

 

did the good ol' accordion fold on all the pieces

 

now here is the tricky part...not really but...here is a heads up

 

when attaching the ends of the folded strips REMEMBER to attach them

1 printed side to one white side (in other words do not attach same color side to same color side) if you remember this then the piece will flatten

nicely when finishing the piece off - otherwise you get this funky kink in the piece.

 

I used my extra jumbo punch and cut out some circles to add to the top of each rosette - but you could also use a circle cutter or a plate and some scissors.

 

I had these cool chipboard letter from MS which were white and used some

black gloss spray paint and they turned our magical and so shiny!

 

I used some hemp twine, some fun fabric scraps and tulle to add some decoration and fluff to the banner. 

 

 

I am supah-dupah happy with this banner. I just pulled out my Halloween decorations and can't wait to get to decorating - only 1 more week to go.

I am linking this up to the following parties:
