Tutorial Tuesday......on Friday!

Pink Floral "Nest" Banner

Here's what you will need: 

• Melissa Francis Chipboard Banner
• Narratives "honeydew" paper
• 7 Gypsies "barcelona terrassa" paper
• Girl's Paperie "cabbage rose"
• Pink Tulle
• Pink Pom Pom Trim
• Chipboard Letters
• Glitter

I love this project.  It's super easy and fast.  I was thinking it would make a nice housewarming gift. 

OK........once you have everything gathered, go get a piece of chocolate to eat while doing this project.   It's a "must have" supply in the Chaos craft room.   Just make sure to wipe your hands so you don't get chocolate smudges all over your project.

1.  After checking to make sure your fingers are clean, place the Chipboard on the "Green Scroll" paper and trace the outline.  Cut and glue to the chipboard. 

2.  Cut the "Barcelona" paper to the width desired. Cut the sides to fit the design on the banner.  I used a scallop scissor to cut the top edge.  Glue into place on the banner.

3.  Cut one of the large flowers patterns out of the "Paper Girl" paper.  Glue into place as shown in the picture. 

4. Punch holes in the top of the banner for the ribbon.

5. Put glitter on the edges of the banner.  I personally use a a small paintbrush to outline the edges with glue and then sprinkle on the glitter.   You could also use glitter glue like Stickles to do the edges.

6. Glue your pom pom trim along the bottom of the "Barcelona" paper. 

7. Place your chipboard letters where you want them and then glue.

8. Lightly spread some glue on the pink flowers and then sprinkle white glitter on top.

8. Thread the tulle through the holes.  After deciding the length you want, knot the tulle in the front of the banner to prevent it from slipping through.
