I made this banner from fabric. This was my first time using the Cricut to cut fabric. It was fun. I like how this turned out so much that I am going to make one for my craft room. I don't know what I want it to say yet though. It is hard to tell how cute this banner is without seeing it in person. The sequins have a like a holographic shine them. I used glittered tulle behind the flower bunch at each end. I used bias tape to cover all the edges and wider with Bias tape to connect all the banners together.
The cartridges I used were...Birthday Bash - pennants and letters
Plantin Schoolbook - flowers and leaves (except for the two roses)
I did the eyes with embroidery floss by hand.
I stitched around each of the letters because I think it just looks nice.The heat n bond don't have to be sewed around to stay.
I stitched around each flower and leaf. I backed all the flowers, leaves and banner with Muslin fabric. I hope you all enjoy looking at my banners.
Beautiful Amy...I love it that you used fabric instead of paper..I wonder if anyone else did fabric...I bet not..You should win at least one machine...I will cross my fingers..for you..
