If you live in the United States, you would have celebrated Independence Day! This day celebrates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence from the British Empire. The 4th of July traditionally means parades, picnics and fireworks. And, everything is decorated using red, white and blue – the colors of the flag.
In keeping with this theme, I made a new 4th of July banner!
I gathered my supplies including paper, mists, paints, buttons, punches, ribbon, and of course, Helmar 450 Quick Dry and Helmar Fabric Glue.
I began by cutting pennant shapes from light weight cardboard which provides the banner with more strength. I decided on the papers to be used and adhered using the Helmar 450. This quick drying adhesive allows me to assemble the entire project quickly.
Once each pennant was covered, it was time to add the embellishments! I punched a variety of flowers, added more layers of papers, and bows. Once I liked the placements, I used Helmar 450 to secure everything.
The last step was to adhere the hanging ribbon to the back. I decided to use my Fabric Glue which sets quickly and has a flexible bond.
Here are close ups of the a couple of the pennants.
And the finished banner. This will look wonderful hanging up with my other decor!
I hope you enjoyed my project! I look forward to seeing you next month! Don't forget to share your projects with us on Facebook!
