I was so happy when I was asked by my Rice Krispies team to make an
Banners are right up my alley and I LOVE working with PAPER.
I’m not a HUGE fan of pastels, but we used these lighter shades for the color theme of our RK display, and I LOVE how Spring-y it ended up looking.
This is how I made it:
-Paper
-Sewing machine
-Paper cutter
-Hot Glue
-Tulle/Ribbon
-Hole Punch
DIRECTIONS:
1. Begin by cutting out the main shape of each letter. You can do triangles, circles, or a shape similar to the one I used.
2. Since I made two of each of these shapes for each letter, I glued them together and then sewed along each edge.
3. From there, I made paper accordions. To do that, cut out strips half the width of what you would like your paper accordion to be. For example, if you want a 4 inch flower, then cut your strips 2 inches wide. You will need 2 strips per accordion. Then, zig zag the entire length of the paper. You will hot glue the beginning and ends of the paper to your other zig-zagged strip. Then you will push in the the edges of the paper and place a dab of hot glue. Hold until it dries.
4. Hot glue your accordion onto your paper letter shapes.
5. Add a scrapbook paper circle to the top of the accordion, and then hot glue your letter to the center.
6. Hole punch the tops and string with ribbon or tulle.
