Cheap Banner idea!

Post by SamFantastico on Tue Oct 04, 2011 9:23 pm

So I had worked for JoAnns for about 3 years total in my life and I'm still surprised how that past job keeps helping me now! I had been wanting a great big banner to catch attention without putting in the money that I don't have right now. So what's a cheaply prices material that's bright, easy to work with, and pretty weatherproof? Felt! Most people don't know that it's sold by the yard at JoAnne stores (I think just the larger ones) for about $2-$4 a yard depending on the sale day, sometimes cheaper (sign up for those coupons!). So I bought up 4 yards of green for extra measure and 1 of black and went to writing and cutting. Hot glue doesn't hold it perfectly but I wasn't about to bust out the sewing machine on this monster. I hand stitched the corners of the letters down so they wouldn't fall off. It's 3 feet by 9 feet so it's enough to hang in my 9x9 tent I'm getting soon. I threw on some flowers to take up space and I'm pleased it'll pop out in crowds Very Happy

Also I'm terrible at keeping sewing in straight lines >_<
