Hello Pebbles’ fans! Welcome to our blog! It’s Eva Pizarro here today sharing with you a quick St Patrick’s Day decoration for your home.

When I think about this celebration I immediately think about the rainbow, so i thought I could make a rainbow banner that I could easily use it all year in my house.

To make the banner I used some American Crafts cardstock, some Tealightful patterned papers and my Banner Punch Board. Cut your paper 7 inch tall and make the banner with your board. It’s really easy! you can also cut two or three papers together to make it quicker.

Next, cut some carstock banner slightly larger, 7,5 inch tall.

I assemble the banners with dimensional foam and placed 3 inch wide circles with my letters on top using some masking tape. I used this trick because I wanted to be able to use the banner all year long, after this holiday simply remove the circles and voila! you have a rainbow banner that you can use in every occasion.

I also added some good luck clovers to the side of my banner.

To hang it make some small holes using your board or your Crop a Dile and use hem twine to hold all the pieces together.

Embroidery Hoop Christmas Banner

Hey Pebbles friends and fans, Becki here. Christmas is right around the corner. I love Christmas and I love making my own Christmas decorations. I put a little spin on a traditional banner to create a banner to hang in my home for Christmas this year. I used 3 embroidery hoops, die cuts, stickers, and patterned papers from the brand new Holly Jolly collection.

becki-adams_joy-banner_1

The first thing I did was to fill the inside of these hoops with patterned paper. I used a strong liquid adhesive to adhere the embroidery hoops to the patterned papers. After the adhesive dried, I carefully cut around each embroidery hoop with an craft knife.

I wanted the banner to have the word “JOY” in it so I hand cut the letters from the blue snowflake patterned paper. I chose the blue patterned paper because I wanted a contrasting color against the red and green backgrounds.

becki-adams_joy-bannerI couldn’t be happier with how this project came together. I love that it’s just a little bit different than a traditional banner because of the embroidery hoops.

The letters are adhered to the patterned paper on the back of the hoop with dimensional adhesive. I added die cuts and buttons to the front of the hoops. I made sure to use a string liquid adhesive so the embellishments stayed in place when I hung my banner.

This project looks complex but it really isn’t it came together very easily. What home decor Christmas projects have you created? You should try creating your own embroidery hoop Christmas banner. It’s easy and SO cute. Thanks for stopping by the Pebbles blog. I’ll see you again soon!

DIY Patterned Paper Fall Banner

Hello Pebbles fans! It’s Monique on the blog today sharing a fun and easy DIY Fall project: a decorative banner to bring an Autumn feel to any room! As Autumn is my favorite season of the year I love creating projects like these to brighten up my home. For today’s project I chose the awesome Woodland Forest collection with the beautiful patterns and cute die-cuts.

Decorative Fall Banner made by @MoniqueLiedtke using the #WoodlandForest collection from @PebblesInc.

To create the six pennants I chose six different patterned papers and three different colored sheets of cardstock. The 6 pennants each measure 7.5″ x 5.5″.

Before adhering the patterned papers to the cardstock pieces I embellished and machine stitched them first. I cut the word “Fall” from the Apple Cider sheet, using the mini alphabet punch board from We R Memory Keepers:

This was so much fun and so super easy to do! The punch board comes with an instruction booklet with instructions on how to create each letter of the alphabet, plus the & and the ! and the numbers 0 – 9.

Once the letters and the embellishments were in place I assembled all the pieces of the banner and used some orange colored twine to string them together. I really love the result!

DIY Back To School Banner

Hello, hello, hello!  It’s back-to-school time, which means it’s the perfect time to switch up my little revolving frame!  I know it’s a little “old school,” but I love paper piecing and try to incorporate it in my projects whenever I can.  This little pencil banner was so easy to whip up with only a few supplies – and I love the excitement it generates about school starting (even if I am the only one feeling the giddiness of buying school supplies and new clothes)!

DIY Back-to-School banner by @wendysuea with the #SpringFling and #Everyday collections by @Pebblesinc.

You can make a banner just like this one in only a few simple steps.  Let me show you!

First, cut the following pieces – adjusting the scale as needed for your project:

DIY Back-to-School banner by @wendysuea with the #SpringFling and #Everyday collections by @Pebblesinc.

pink patterned paper: 2 1/2″ x 2″
woodgrain patterned paper: 2 1/2″ x 1/2″
yellow patterned paper: 2 1/2″ x 4″
kraft dot patterned paper: 2 1/2″ x 1/2″
black patterned paper: 2 1/2″ x 1″

Create the eraser by layering the pink and woodgrain patterned papers, then round the top corners:

Place the eraser on the pencil:

Now layer the kraft and black papers to create the wood/lead:

Sharpen your pencil by clipping the corners of the black paper:

And add the lead to the pencil:

Finally, add the letter stickers (I used foam adhesive behind the letter stickers for a bit of dimension):

Next, punch holes in the corners of each eraser and string them together with baker’s twine.  Add thickers to complete the title and hang!

These pencils would also be cute as bag decorations, tags, or even cards!  Be creative and put your paper-piecing skills to work!

This frame hangs in my entry way, and I switch it up according to the season or holiday.

DIY Fall Banner

Hello Pebbles friends, Becki here. You guys, I am counting down the days until Fall arrives. I’ve already started decorating my home for my favorite season of the year with this DIY Fall banner. When it comes to creating banners, “my go to tool” is the WRMK banner punch board. I love that tool! It makes creating banners SO easy. I created this DIY Fall banner in less than 30 minutes.

Becki Adams_Fall Banner_1

I used the brand new Woodland forest collection to create this banner. The patterned papers are gorgeous and the die cuts from the ephemera pack made the perfect embellishments for the ends of the banner. I cut the base of the banners out with one piece of patterned paper. Each banner piece is 4×6″ I even used the portion that I cut off the bottom as an accent on the top of the banner.

The letters are simply cut using my electronic die cut machine. I used a very basic font and made the letters really big so they would stand out. I also added some pop dots to the letters.

Becki Adams_Fall Banner_3

At each end of the banner I created a little vignette with die cuts. I also used pop dots on the animal die cuts so they would stand out a little bit.

Aren’t those little woodland creatures the cutest? I think they’re adorable! I think every little woodland creature in that die cut pack will make it’s way onto my projects so look for them in upcoming blog posts.

Thanks for stopping by the Pebbles blog today. Happy Fall y’all (almost) . Make sure you snag a few pieces of the Woodland Forrest collection and a banner punch board so you can create your own DIY Fall banner!
