Super simple banner made from things you have around the house "How-To".
I made this BOO banner for the mantle.I almost spelled out FALL but went with BOO in the end.
Using:
Brown paper bag
Distress ink
Black paint
Cute scrap book paper scraps
A little Glue
Twine
Clothes pins
Halloween Spider font
I cut 3" wide strips from my paper bag then folded it back and forth.
Make a circle, connecting the ends with a little glue.
I cut a circle to glue in the center for stability. Let it dry some.I distressed the edges and splattered black paint.
Then attached my circles with "BOO".
Close up. Click on the picture for a better view.I attached to the twine with clothes pins that I distressed.
Have fun, spelling out all kinds of messages, year round!
