Easy
Create your own feminine Valentine's day banner with flowers and beads for a little bling. Easy to make and perfect for teens as well.
Cutting
Start by cutting your material.
Cut out two large hearts for each banner piece
Cut one large heart from the interfacing
Cut out two small hearts for each banner piece
Cut one small heart from the interfacing
Cut out six circles for each banner piece
Assembling the Hearts
Iron all your cut fabric pieces.
Place the large heart good side down, place the interfacing on top and the second piece of material good side up. Iron according to instructions.
Assemble the heart backing place the small heart on top of the large and start to sew and bead them into place.
Beading
Sew around the outside of the small heart adding a bead on every stitch. Space the beads as evenly as possible. I used my baby finger to measure the spacing.
Repeat this for all the other banner pieces.
Decorating
You can leave the hearts as they are or add extra embellishments like buttons, extra beads or lace.
Attaching the String
For five hearts I used 6 feet of white string. With a darning needle thread on five beads. Sew one long stitch in the back of the heart.
Make sure not to pierce the front of the heart and keep your stitch as level as possible.
Pull the thread through the heart, attach five more beads, repeat until finished ending with five beads.
Tie a noose knot on each end of the string, this will allow you to easily adjust the length of your banner.
