Craft Project - Paper Banner

We are out of school for our 5th day out of the last 7---so crazy! I decided to work on another craft project! :)

Landrie's room needed some updates. I love her patchwork quilt, but she didn't have much on her walls. After getting an adorable cupcake print from a friend, I decided to do a cupcake theme for her room. Landrie LOVES sweets, so it seemed like the perfect decor for her!

I got my inspiration from this post on Shanty 2 Chic's link party this week.



I love the different papers used and knew it would look great in Landrie's room. Since we were iced in, I used what I had to create her banner. Plus, that made it FREE which I love!

I used my Cricut to cut out the letters at 5 1/2" tall. I used my favorite cartridge - Alphalicious. I then used my straight cutter to make 6" x 6" squares and 7" x 7" squares. After I mounted the letters to those, I decided it still needed something else. I backed all of them in 7.5" x 7.5" white squares to give it a more unified look.

For the cupcakes I used torn paper to create the bottom and cut 3 ovals on the Cricut for the icing. Instead of a cherry on top, I put a heart!

I hung them over her bed with white tulle. I may eventually mount them onto wooden plaques, but this works for now.

What do you think?

Karsyn's begging for a banner in her room too. Maybe we'll have another snow day soon??
