I Heart Autumn

This was super cheap, easy and fun to do!

Banner you will need:
-Twine
-Burlap (I only got a yard)
-Orange, Brown, Red or Yellow Paint (Acrylic Paint)
-Hot glue gun
- Felt for backing (optional, burlap may curl once painted)



1) Make a template for the banner triangle with a regular piece of paper or cardstock, then cut out the amount of letter Autumn has 6. Feel free to use your own saying :)
Optional step: Trace addition triangles in felt for backing and save for the end.

2) Next paint the letters on each triangle, let dry.

3) While the letters are drying you can measure out the twine, I simply held the twine up to my fire place to see where it would hang, I then gave myself several extra inches just in case.

4) Once the letters are dry place the twine on the ground or table (where ever you have space) and place the triangles in order, try to leave space in between. If you like the placement, start hotgluing the flags to the twine.
Optional step: If adding backing go ahead and hotglue the felt flags on the back of the burlap flags. Make sure the twine is covered.

5) Mount the banner anywhere you like! You can use tacks, tape, nails anything that will hold it up! I simply placed the twine underneath my candle holders.


The rest of the items in the picture came from the dollar store! I simply bought fall garland and fall flowers. I mixed and matched fake pumkins from the dollar store and real pumpkins from the grocery store. Have fun styling a fireplace or an entrance table.

Have fun and get creative!
