Last night I was again throwing a cracker box away
and decided instead to make it into a Valentine banner

So I had 4 strips
I then strung them all on a polka dot grosgrain ribbon
~added a few knot bows and hung them on my hutch

I then added a bung of other goodies to go along with this display


I am so sorry the pics are dark...
I added my favorite candies to the candle jar and added ribbon to the jar
I reversed the paper in this frame and tied a bow... along with another jar of my lemon candies
This is the whole hutch together...
Keeping it real I included the hubbys home base basket as I call it.
Anything I find that belongs to him around the house goes into the basket
No more disagreements about his stuff... it is all in the basket!!
Here are the other other awesome parties I am joining

















What a cute idea! I always see those adorable banners on Etsy and in other crafty mom blogs but they look so intimidating to make- you've removed my fear by showing how easy it can be- and free too! How clever using the saltines box!
ReplyDeleteWho knew a Saltine box could look so good! =) Great idea and outcome!
ReplyDeleteCame here by way of Brambleberry Cottage 14 Days of Love. I think I have seen your icon on Ann Tatum's Blog "Keepin Up W/the Tatums. Yes, I did - she's a niece on my husband's side of the family. Anyway -I enjoyed your post. And I love your header photo. Thanks, Jenn
ReplyDeleteYour banner is darling and your hutch looks great. My hubby has a home basket too!
ReplyDeleteI am an olden lady and soooo not crafty but I want to make banners in the worst way. This one looks like I MIGHT could make it. I will try!! Thanks so much for showing us your cute work...I love it all.

What a good idea! I have been saving my boxes too, but I never thought about using it for a banner. Thanks for the idea

Love it! I featured you on my highlights posted this evening, so be sure to grab an "I Was Featured" button. I did a coke case vase project over the holidays. Turned out so cute and cost nothing! Thanks for linking up to "Shop the House Sunday" at Finesse Your Nest!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a cute little banner! I love it:)
ReplyDeleteNow that's what I call truly trash to treasure. What a great way to recycle!
ReplyDeleteGlad you joined the party!
