Easy Weekend Fun Activity Banner

Jun

Hi there. It’s Amy from The Happy Scraps here today and I’m excited to be sharing this Easy Weekend Fun Activity Banner with you. We recently moved into a new home and have been spending our weekends working on things in and around the house, getting all kinds of things done that have needed to be done since moving. Since we haven’t done many fun things on the weekends yet this year, and since school just got out, I decided I wanted to make this easy weekend fun activity banner. I’m looking forward to the weekends this summer and getting out and spending time together as a family.

I pulled out the 6 x 6 paper pad from the Jen Hadfield Everyday collection and selected some bright and fun patterned papers that look like summer to me. I cut them each in half so I had two pieces about 3″ x 6″.

Using the Banner Punch Board and one piece of each patterned paper, I cut the flag shaped banner.

Then I trimmed the top off, making them the length that I wanted. I’ve found that if I cut the top off after I’ve cut the triangle part out of the bottom, I end up with the exact size of banner piece that I want.

Then I cut the triangle banner pieces. Once I had all the pieces cut, I punched out the holes in the top to lace the banner together with.

Here are all the banner pieces.

I placed all the pieces on the table, figuring out the order I wanted them to hang.

Using a large pair of scissors, I cut my paper straws into six pieces each.

With a large needle, I threaded my baker’s twine into it. Then I put three straw pieces on my needle and pushed them down on the string. Then I added a banner piece.

I put three straw pieces between each banner piece.

Once I had the banner strung together, I punched out some hexagon shapes and wrote our activities on them.

Using some dimensional adhesive squares, I mounted them onto the banner pieces.

I’m so excited about these weekend activities I’ve planned to do with my family and I’m also excited that it looks so cute to hang up too!

Here it is, hanging from my self.

Doesn’t it just go perfectly with my Hello Summer board?

What fun plans do you have for the summer?

DIY Master Bedroom Decor

Hello friends! Amy here today from The Happy Scraps, and I’m so excited to be sharing our DIY Master Bedroom Decor with you today. We recently moved, and we have a lot more space do decorate now. Where we lived previously, we didn’t really have a color them or anything for our master bedroom. Since moving, I’ve decided that I want to use the colors gray, white, orange, and navy in our master bedroom. When I saw that the Jen Hadfield Everyday Collection had these colors, I knew I had to do something with them for our bedroom!

I wanted to make something to go above our bed, on the wall. I decided I’d cut out some wood shapes to apply paper to.

Once I had the wood cut out, I traced my shapes onto the back of the paper I wanted to use.

Then I cut out the paper.

I painted the edges of my wood white. I like to do this after I trace the paper, so I don’t end up with a pencil line showing on my paint.

Using wood glue, I spread some onto my wood. I spread it out with a sponge brush, then applied my paper.

I smoothed out the paper well, making sure it was stuck to the wood really well.

Once I had all my wood letters and shapes finished, I decided I also wanted to add a banner to hang above the wood on the wall. I pulled out my banner punch board and had it put together in no time.

After I punched the holes in the top, I used baker’s twine to string the little triangles together.

Then I hung them on the wall. I’m so giddy over how it all came together and turned out!

What kind of decor do you have in your master bedroom?

Word of the Year Banner

Word of the Year Banner

With a New Year brings a New Beginning. I’m one of those people who are all about new beginnings and I also like to choose one word to represent my goals in the New Year. This year, I chose the word GROW. Of course, GROW can be interpreted in a variety of ways. I definitely don’t want to GROW out of my clothes or GROW out my hair but I do want to GROW positively in many areas of my life. This year, I really want to GROW to become a better wife and mother and most importantly, I want to GROW in my Faith and in my creativity. Creativity is a very important part of my life daily and focusing on growing what I love is a top priority to me.

To help remind me daily to GROW in areas of my life, I made a small banner to hang in my craft room. My craft room is where I spend a lot of my time daily so creating a banner that coordinates with my craft room colors is like giving a little gift to myself. To make the flag banner shape, I used the We R Memory Keepers Banner Punch Board.

I cut the base of the Banner Flag at 3 x 4 inches then layered the base with Cottage Living Honeycomb paper.

I trimmed out the letters G-R-O-W from Cottage Living Gallery Wall paper and adhered them on to the front of the Banner Flags.

The banner is strung along black and white twine and are clipped with DIY Home gold metal clips.

I love seeing my Word of the Year Banner as a daily reminder of how I hope to positively GROW this year in areas my life.

DIY Blessed Banner

Hello Pebbles fans! Amy here from The Happy Scraps today. I love this time of year! I love the crispness in the air, all that comes with the Thanksgiving season, and of course paper crafting. Today I’m excited to share the tutorial with you for this DIY Blessed Banner using the beautiful Pebbles Harvest Collection.

I went through the Harvest collection and found some patterned paper that I knew I might use in making this banner. I also picked out some fun embellishments.

I cut my paper down to 5″ x 6″.

Using the We R Memory Keepers Banner Punch Board, I cut my banner pieces and punched the holes in the top.

Here are the pieces all cut.

I used some brown ink to ink the edges of the banner pieces.

Next I used back side of the Harvest Scattered Leaves Cardstock to cut some pieces to 3.5″ x 3″.

I used the We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper to round the corners of my little cards. Once the corners were rounded, I used the brown ink the ink the edges of these as well.

I used my electronic die cutting machine to cut out the letters to spell BLESSED. I cut these letters out of the Harvest Cutting Board Cardstock. I grabbed some dimensional adhesive so adhere these to the banner pieces.
