friday craft day: simple valentine's banner


Ok. So right about now you might be thinking to yourself, "huh, this project looks a little familiar"and if you are, you'd be right. Using this same design, I've created a St. Patrick's Day and a Halloween banner  and I just couldn't resist doing one for Valentine's day too!

 What can I say...when I find something I like I tend to stick with it. :) My earlier banners turned out to be so fun and easy to make...why reinvent the wheel, right!?

that's so pretty!

Holly said... Best Blogger Tips

This is so pretty! If you were willing to use the same color buttons for each holiday, I wonder if you could use the same basic banner and just change out the embellishments, by cutting a slit/button hole in the embellishments and sliding them over the buttons? I might try that!
