Name Banner

For my project for this month's blog hop at Lovebug Scrapbooking, I decided to make a Birthday banner.

I started by making a template (3 1/2 X 4 1/2 inches) I made a mark at 1 3/4 and drew a triangle shape.



Cut out as many triangles as there are letters (for my project, I did my name).


I wanted a scalloped edge on my triangles, so I used my border punch and made some scalloped pieces. I adhered them with glue.


Here's how I got the rounded edge at the point of the triangle:
step 1: Adhere one scalloped piece along one edge.


Step 2: Trim the edge as shown.


Step 3: Adhere second piece, aligning them and making sure 2 halves of a scallop are matching up.


Step 4: Using your scissors, trim the second scalloped piece.


Using various supplies, embellish your triangles. Adhere to a strip of ribbon.



I added some Prima flowers on the ends of my banner.

Beautiful Carla!!!!!!!!!
