Happy Easter Banner

Recently we rearranged the living room and I decided to let the old vintage window frame live over the couch for now. I've been decorating it with a wreath for each holiday. Since its time for Easter right now, I got out the Easter egg wreath I made a few years ago. After I hung it, it seemed like it needed something else, so I thought a cute Easter banner would go with my colorful Easter Egg Wreath. I got out the Cricut Expressions and got to it!
I love the rustic look, so I opted for the Kraft paper and twine combination. At first I was just going to use little flag type pieces for each letter and then I got the bright idea to use egg shapes.
You will need the following items to recreate my banner:
Printed paper (I used is a 6 x 6 paper stack from Lawn Fawn called Let's Polka, Mon Amie)
Kraft Card Stock
Cats Eye Chalk Ink (chestnut brown)
Cricut machine
Doodlecharms cartridge
Mickey Font cartridge
Jute twine
Burlap ribbon
Mini clothespins
Glue for paper crafting
For the egg shapes:
I used my Doodlcharms cartridge. The Kraft piece was set to cut @ 14". Next the colored egg pieces. I wanted the banner to be sturdy so I will be able to use it year after year, so I cut an extra egg from white card stock so it would be stiffer when all assembled. The white piece and the colored piece were cut at 13".
For the letters:
I used my Mickey Font cartridge. I wanted the letters to pop off the colored eggs, so I decided to use a white shadow. For the white piece, use the shadow button and cut each letter @ 3". For the colored letters, turn off the shadow key and cut @ 3".
I hope you've enjoyed my sweet little Easter banner and make one for yourself. So fun and easy too!
