DIY USA Banner – Tuesday 2 p.m. CST

Let’s craft an easy USA Banner together. This banner can be made with burlap, fabric, ribbon or cardstock paper (paper plates can work too), so grab what you have on hand and let’s craft together.

Cut 5 pieces of the jute webbing at 7 inches long.

First, mark 1.5 inches up from the bottom in the center.

Then fold the piece in half longways and cut from the inside mark to the outside corner, cutting out a triangle.

At the top fold over one inch to the back.

Cut out stencil pieces for “U”, “S”, and “A” out of card stock, I used my Cricut Maker. I also used my Cricut to cut the stars out of vinyl.

Use a paintbrush or sponge with white paint for the letters. First, center each stencil on the webbing and hold in place.

Lightly dab or paint on top of the stencil. While working from the edge toward the center to minimize paint bleeding.

For the stars I suggest using a brush with blue paint. Start from the center and work your way out.

Sometimes paint bleeding is inevitable, but here’s a solution! I used a silver paint marker and drew around the edge of the letter to even things out and make it pop.

Once the paint is totally dry, flip over the banner piece to the back and put down a string of hot glue near the top edge. Then fold it over on that 1 inch crease and hold for thirty seconds to secure it.

Then you can thread whatever you are using to hang it through the pocket. For this banner I used two types of twine twisted together for mine.

Leave some space between the letters so you can add some extra flair. Finally, I cut three different ribbons into two 12inch pieces and used a lark’s head knot to attach them to the banner.
