Denim Decor

Hello Everyone!

How is your week going so far?  I hope you are enjoying your summer.  I'm enjoying mine by staying away from the heat. :D

Well, I am stopping by to share my recent creation.  Since summer is a great season for outdoor (and indoor) parties/get-togethers, I decided to create a little piece of party décor- a "denim" banner. 

I added faux stitching around the letters and edges.

I love creating banners.  They are festive and usually, simple to create.  I wanted this banner to be not only decorative, but functional, too.  (I apologize for the grainy picture.  The light was beginning to fade.)

And here is the functional part: I added storage compartments on the ends for light-weight party necessities (napkins, utensils, straws, etc.)

And in keeping with the denim theme, I sewed some placemats.  I traced the negative section of my die-cut banner flowers onto the placemats.  Then I used fabric paint over the tracing. 

(Supplies: cardstock; die-cut flowers & letters- Cameo; sequins; hole punch; white pen; twine- We R Memory Keepers; fabric- Joann's; fabric paint- Tulip; sewing machine)

 

I would like to link this project to the following, please:

*Decorate to Celebrate- (outdoor party or birthday)

*Craftin Desert Divas- (summer)

 

I only made 2 placemats for our tiny table, but I think I'm off to make some more. :)  Thank you so much for stopping by.  I greatly appreciate your visit. :D

 

Happy Crafting,

Angie
