Mini Summer Banner

I love banners, pennants and flags of all sorts.  I remember being mesmerized by them hanging at car lots when I was a kid.  I see them everywhere these days.  I made a large one for spring.  You can read about it here, but when I put it away, I realized that storage would be a problem.  I made a smaller one this time.
Pin It

It's the perfect thing for my shelf in my entryway, don't you think?  I am loving that scarlet/magenta/fuchsia color for my summer decor.  (I'm never sure exactly which color it is....it always looks a little different depending on what I'm doing with it.) 

I'll show you how I made it, but it was really so simple I'm almost embarrassed to.
Here are the supplies I used.

I cut my shapes out of paint chips.  I laid them out they way I wanted, using a tape measure for even spacing.  Using Tacky Glue I attached my triangles and circles to some kitchen twine.

That's pretty much it.

How simple was that?
Go-make-ya-one!

  2. I always get confused by colour names but I'm a step up from the typical guy who might just call this red (at least in our house, lol). Looks very sweet.

  4. Adorable! I love paint chip projects and the size of this is so cute! I've made 2 larger pennant paint chip banners and just like you said they're hard to store. I really like the two shape combo, too :)

  9. This is such a cute banner. I haven't seen anyone add the dots in between before, but it adds so much!

    Thanks for sharing. I think I'll be trying some dots on my banners in the future!
