Halloween Banner Tutorial & Templates

Call me crazy but I am already decorating for HALLOWEEN!! 50 days away and I think I get more excited for Halloween than Christmas (well, maybe...) But I just had to do something this weekend to celebrate the 20 degree drop in temperature that tells me Fall is definitely here!

So I pulled out my favorite Fall and Hallo decs and put them up! I am still loving my dolls from Chrissy Lee Creations (comment with your info if you want more details on her lovely dolls)

and decided that I needed a festive garland to emphasize my excitement! I made this in less than an hour and spent less than $2!! If you can cut and sew in a straight line, you can make this banner!!

I've created a sheet of templates for you to use (make sure you print it off as an 8 1/2 X11 sheet and the sizes will be perfect.

You'll need a 9X12 sheet of felt in orange, white and black, (34 cents each!) and some ribbon scraps & cute buttons. (I got these pumpkin ones from JoAnns, but even plain buttons would look great.)

Cut out the shapes (I got 6 per felt sheet) and chain stitch them together:

so you have a continuous line of shapes!

Then sew on the button and ribbon loop so you can hang it up next to your favorite Halloween decorations!

HAPPY HAUNTING SEWING!!
