This weeks DIY is this shabby chic book page banner....so cute hung above your mantle, windows, pretty much anywhere! Super easy and here is what you need:
- a random book you don't mind destroying
- computer/printer
- glitter
- glue
- twain
- painters tape {optional}
Here are the steps
- First you need to decide what you want your banner to say {in this case I choose the word BELIEVE} one of my favorites for Christmas! Tear the pages out of your book carefully making sure to get the full page from the binding.
- Next pick a program on your computer to type the letters. You will be printing them one letter at a time. I like to use the program picmonkey.com but your microsoft word, or photo editors will be able to do this for you as well.
- Make your letter quite large so it takes up at least 3/4 the page. When printing make sure that you are printing a 5x7 so it will fit on your book page. I print from windows photo gallery. I cheat and tape my book page with painters tape {this way it won't tear the paper when you take it off} to where it will print on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper. See pictures below! Print our your letter.
4. Once you have created your word, I added a little glitter around the edges of the letter just to give it a little extra Winter sparkle.
5. Punch holes in both corners of each letter in the upper right and left corners!
6. String with your twain {or any ribbon of choice} and you have now created your banner!!
Merry Making!!
