The Beach is Calling Home Decor Banner

 Hello, Ribbon Lovers!

Summer is peeking around the corner, and that always makes me think about the beach!  So I dug out some of favorite Really Reasonable Ribbon trims and flowers to make this The Beach is Calling Home Decor Banner.

This great big banner is stitched onto Navy Silky Crush Ribbon and topped with Navy Striped Burlap Ribbon (out of stock, but this grosgrain ribbon would look great, too). 

Each end of the banner is dressed up with pretty bows tied from Navy/Ivory/Gold Plaid Ribbon, one of my all time favorites.  I've topped my double loop bows with Gold Metallic String .  

The flower clusters are made up with White Magnolias, Earth Tone Magnolias, Mixed Blue Peonies and Itty Bitty Mixed Blue Sweetheart Blossoms. 

If you'd like to see how to make this lovely banner, please enjoy this video tutorial.

Thanks so much for stopping by, friends!

Old Fashioned 4th of July Banner

Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  I love a good old fashioned patriotic 4th of July celebration, don't you?  Remember those small town parades, lemonade stands, picnics by the lake and fireworks displays?  Those were the very best days of summer when I was growing up.  So I dipped into my supply of Patriotic Really Reasonable Ribbon and made this nostalgic banner. 

One of the things I enjoy about making banners is that you get to use all kinds of beautiful ribbons and trims!  Here's how I used ribbon on this vintage style banner:

• First, I stitched Patriotic Stars on Satin Ribbon to my white netting ribbon. 
• Then, I tied an Airmail Bakers Twine bow between each pennant, topping it with a button. 
• Next, I used my Zutter Bow it All Tool to tie a pair of 3 1/2" double loop Patriotic Plaid Bows and adhered them on each end of the banner. 
• Finally, I tied White Burlap String Bows in the corners of each itty bitty die cut banner embellishment and topped them with itty bitty buttons. 

Banners are the perfect way to dress up any holiday, and RRR has the perfect ribbons to dress up your banners.  Isn't that a happy fact?

Apple Pickin' Time Home Décor Banner

 

Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  Oh, it's apple pickin' time, and I could not be happier if I tried! To celebrate, I made an apple themed home décor banner with Really Reasonable Ribbon trims.

Each pennant is machine stitched between layers of  Rust Silky Crush Ribbon and Crochet Lace Trim. 

TIP: Machine stitch along both the top and the bottom edge of the ribbon.  This extra step helps the banner to hang neatly.

Tie Sherry/Ivory Plaid ribbon in square knots between each banner pennant then top with a button.

Natural Burlap String mimics the feel of fall leaves.  Tie little bows with it and tuck it into your flower clusters to add extra texture.

Die cut leaves and velvet flowers add even more layers of texture and dimension to the design.

Do you go apple picking where you live?  We have to drive into the mountains to find apple orchards here.  But growing up in New England, the month of September was apple season.  We all trekked out to the local orchards and picked big bushel baskets filled with rosy red apples.  Mmmm...now I want an apple pie!

Thanks for stopping by!
