Completed during nap time this afternoon. \u00c2\u00a0And I am so thankful that today was a nap day. \u00c2\u00a0Naps are mostly a thing of the past here, but it was a good day indeed.<\/p>\n This was a super easy, super satisfying project.<\/p>\n Here are the supplies I used:<\/p>\n How I made the banner:<\/p>\n 3. \u00c2\u00a0Trace your template on the burlap (I used a fine tip sharpie) and cut out the triangle. \u00c2\u00a0Repeat 8 times. \u00c2\u00a0Cutting burlap is messy business, by the way. \u00c2\u00a0I’m still covered in it.<\/p>\n 4. \u00c2\u00a0Once your chipboard letters are dry (and mine were dry by the time I finished cutting the burlap), hot glue the letters to the triangles. \u00c2\u00a0I used an index card (so precise, I know!) to make sure all my letters were the same distance from the bottom point of the triangles.<\/p>\n 5. \u00c2\u00a0Then I glued the ribbon across the top. \u00c2\u00a0(I laid it all out first to make sure I had enough ribbon on both ends).<\/p>\n 6. \u00c2\u00a0Last of all, I glued on the orange flower embellishments. \u00c2\u00a0I may add some additional embellishments next year, but for this year, I’m happy with the beautiful simplicity of my banner!<\/p>\n One teensy problem. \u00c2\u00a0I had envisioned this banner being hung across my mantle, but it is a bit too long for that. \u00c2\u00a0So I’m still playing around with where I want to display it…<\/p>\n The stairs?<\/p>\n The dining room with the red walls?<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.thepickyapple.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/Thankful-Banner-1.jpg\" "\\"Thankful")

<\/a>2. \u00c2\u00a0I created a template out of cardstock for the triangle size I wanted for the banner. \u00c2\u00a0Note: be sure to use your widest letter for this (mine was “k”) so you have enough room!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
