All is Merry and Bright...especially in the dining room! We are putting some finishing touches in the room and then we will be ready to entertain guests!
What do you do when you decide to decorate your Christmas mantel with non- traditional colors - and the colors that you want to use don't exist? Well..we decided to make a banner for the mantel that would match the decor perfectly!
Trace the cardboard pennant shape on the scrapbook paper and cut. Mod Podge the scrapbook pieces to the cardboard. Let dry.
Measure out the yarn to fit your mantel. Lightly roll the cotton balls for a more rounded shape. Thread the cotton balls onto the yarn - knotting off the yarn ends when complete.
We used black clothes pins we got for $1 at Target to hang the letters on the banner. We love how the entire craft turned out!
We used several pieces of mercury glass, as well as silver accents, which we thought would look great with our DIY Christmas banner...
Such an easy idea to add jingle bells and a candle to this glass jar, which instantly made it a festive candle holder.
The different mixes of silvers really goes along well with the banner.
