ReplyDeleteYou always have such great and reasonable ideas. We hope you and yours have a great 4th. Oh how I wish you lived closer too, you all could come hang out at the lake with us. I am truly blessed and thankful!

Oh, how I want one of these. I was going to make mine out of paper, but the fabric looks awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, I want to see the mantel! LOL
That is TOO cute!!! Everytime I see those banners I kick myself for not ever making a valance with them for my son's bedroom.
ReplyDeleteOh Susie, how clever of you! I love it, your banner is stinkin' cute and how easy was that?!?! I've been wanting to make one myself for quite some time but was on the fence, fabric vs paper And I work in fabric so I should have it made already, lol, no excuses! I guess I'm just a lazy dreamer! But I'm so loving your combination of fabrics. And I agree with Connie who posted that you have such great and REASONABLE ideas, lol Yeah we'd definitely get into some real crafting fun if we lived near each other!
ReplyDeleteOh see, now that is cute!! Thanks for the idea! I wish I had a mantle. Maybe I'll make one for my tiny front porch.
ReplyDeleteVery cute! Looks like something I might actually be able to accomplish!
ReplyDeleteI know what I am going to be doing this afternoon. Love this idea. This is a perfect mother and daughter project.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this. Love it.
Cute. I need to fluff some for the fourth. I am not looking very patriotic around here. Started an ottoman project yesterday, and it is gonna be red. Does that count? Love your creative inspiration. Keep it up and have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteI love the patriotic banner! Do I have an idea of what might be on the mantle?!?!? Can't wait to find out for sure.
ReplyDeleteLove it! I am so going to make another one (out of scrapbook paper) for my mantel. Great idea!

Clever girl! Don't you just love hot glue?
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! And with hot glue! Got to love that hot glue gun!
ReplyDeleteAnd... we are neighbors!
I also saw your conversatory that you got so cheap at the Red Door in BR!
I love that place! Have you seen the "sale room" in the Royal Standard? Its in the back and full of great stuff too!
Oh, you are sooo crafty. Your banner is too cute and I can't wait to see that mantel.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Trixi

Great project! We love the banner!

Yes - the Hooked on Houses information I was asking about was the one with the blue ceilings. I would love to see it if you remember the web sight. I am always thrilled to find new inspiration.
ReplyDeleteHow cute is that!? Now I feel like crud because in my frugal state of mind I just let the boys put mini flags I got on clearance at Target for $3.00 in the flower beds.
ReplyDeleteI need to step up my game I think!
Can't wait!!! Can't wait, either, to get internet access and cable at the apartment!!
ReplyDeleteDARLING!
ReplyDeleteM ^..^
That is too funny that you made that. I bought some fabric just the other day to do the exact same thing on my porch. I love yours, it looks awesome. Now, if I can get mine done before the 4th. I'm lucky, here in Utah we celebrate the 24th too, so most people keep their decorations up for a month.
ReplyDeleteThose flags are great! I saw the one at Joys of Home and also Lipstick and Laundry and that is the first thing I wanted to do. Bought some fabric at Wal-Mart to make a banner like the one on the fireplace. I'm just a little late don't ya think?
ReplyDeleteI'm so envious that you have a mantel. We have a very ugly, but-oh-so functional woodstove. No beautiful mantel to hang decorations from..sigh. Your patriotic banner is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI love your banner....and so easy to do....who woulda thought?
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome banner. I am stopping by from K and K's! Hope you have a lot of visitors. Love how you whipped out that flag board. Talented people are cool!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, that is soooo cute!! how festive and lovely! Enjoy the fourth of july!! xo!
ReplyDeleteI made one of these for Amelia's birthday party back in May, and I did it the same way you did. I love them! Now I want to keep making more for every occasion...hahaha! They are cute. And I call that stuff binding, too.
ReplyDeleteOh my I want to make one of these also...can't wait to go get me some material and try this out...
ReplyDeleteNice post Thanks for sharing
