Book Page Easter Banner

I guess you can say I am obsessed with spring right now.  Today as I sit down at my desk I can look outside and see the first signs of spring.  This week has been quite nice actually.  I would say the weather is downright perfect.  I cannot let that fool me.  Next week it could be a blizzard.  Ah the joys of living in Utah.  We have bipolar weather.  SO since it is so nice I thought I would make a cute and simple book page Easter banner for my fireplace mantle.  Of course I am using book pages.  

I am a big proponent of using what you have at home to create home decor, but if you don’t have some of these items that is okay!  Here is a little list of what you’ll need.
Scissors
Jute Twine
Stencil-it Reusable Lettering Set- 2 inch
Sharpie Permanent Markers
Paper Cutter
Hole Punch
Old Book

 

I began this banner like many of my book projects by cutting or tearing some of the pages out of my trusty old book.  Once removed, I straightened the pages with my paper cutter.  I use this thing for everything.

I then drew the design I wanted for the bottom of the banner.  I didn’t want to make the triangle banner like I have done.  I measured the center of the page and made a mark.  I then measured up 2 inches from that mark and made another mark.  I then connected the center mark to the corners of the page.

Like so.

I then used my scissors to cut that part out.  I cut all the pages together so they were all the same.

I then traced my letters with my stencil and sharpie marker.

I added a flower to each end of the banner and then colored them all in.

I then gathered up all my pages and used my hole punch to make two holes at the top of the pages about 2 inches apart.   The next step is to weave the twine into the holes at the top.

The last step is to hang your banner.  I hung mine on my fireplace, but I had about 10 other places I wanted to hang it.

On my chalkboard wall

In my Entry

On my living room chalkboard

and on and on.

I hope you try out this book page Easter banner.  It is so fun and easy.

Now I am on to my next project.  Someone stop me!  My husband has tried.  It did not work.

Have a great day!
