All You Need Is Love: Fabric DIY Banner

I saw this fabulous DIY on Pinterest a couple weeks ago and thought I had to try it! Cory and I are throwing an Anniversary Party for my in-laws at the end of summer and I've started to look for some decor ideas. When this came around I knew it would be perfect. 


What You'll Need: 
1. Ruler
2. Small Dowel
3. Black Cotton & White Cotton Fabric
4. Stencil
5. A few Fabric pens
6. Scissors


STEPS

1. Fold your white fabric in half and measure the size you want the banner to be. 


2. Begin by measuring and lightly marking where your arrows will begin and end. 

* GO SLOW *

3. Stencil in the words then the L O V E
4. Finish your arrows



5. Let the drawings dry completely. 

6. Measure and cut the black fabric to the size you want (doesn't need to be doubled up like the white fabric)

6. Cut out the middle triangle to make the design above

7. Pin the black and white fabric together before you begin sewing

8. Drape the banner on the dowel to make sure your pinning is straight

9. Sew the black to the white 

All done! All that's left is finding the perfect place to hang it.

Happy DIY!
