Falling In Love ♥

September 8, 2014 by Fotini Filed Under: diy, DIY banner, fall, fall decor, fall in love, home decor

Although Fall doesn’t officially start until the 22nd of this month, I am in complete Fall mode! It is my favorite time of the year! I am absolutely in love with all of the the rich colors, warm tones and fragrant scents, just to name a few! I’m sure you know by now, I’m crazy for banners! So today, I’m sharing this year’s version of my Fall banner!
To start, grab a book that you will never use, or snag one from Goodwill. I chose the phrase “fall in love” for this banner, so I ripped out 9 pages from the book. Before I cut the pages to size, I printed each letter onto them and moved onto the next step. I grabbed my paper cutter and simply trimmed off the sides of each and fishtailed the bottoms by eye. I use jute for the base of my banner and usually, also, eye the length according to the size of the letters. Simply fold the top of each page over and place a piece of double stick tape to the back and press into place. Hang your banner and voila! Such a timeless piece with a statement!

    Great banner, but I also enjoy your lovely mantle decor. Clean, seasonal, very pretty.

    I just love your silver pumpkin… I gotta get me one of those! Your mantle is very pretty. I’ve not decorated for fall yet – soon, very soon. I just got used to the idea! Where did our summer go?

    Love this banner Fotini! I also have the same paper trimmer! Funny because I’ve had that thing for years and have purchased a few new once since then, but always go back to that one 🙂 Thanks for sharing this at The Makers, pinned 🙂
