Christmas Drop Cloth Banner

December 9, 2015 by Holly Gagnon 3 Comments

The Christmas count down has begun and I have an easy Christmas Drop Cloth Banner to share with you.  Yes, drop cloth.  Like the material you throw on the floor when you paint.  I sorta love it.  It’s rough, rugged and durable fabric.   I used my {mad} sewing skillz  and some heat transfer vinyl to whip up this little festive banner in no time.

Since I was loved the Christmas Drop Cloth Pillows I made last Christmas, I wanted to add a Drop Cloth Banner in to my holiday decor too.

I know, a drop cloth really just is a big piece of canvas but I just love the color, the durability and the way the canvas frays.  Plus it’s cheap.

Drop Cloth Pennant Banner.

 

To make the pennant banner,  I used my Silhouette CAMEO to cut out a 6″ pennant template , traced it on to the drop cloth and cut it out 3 times.

Next, I cut out another 4 1/2 inch pennant template to trace out the glitter green sheer fabric to use as an overlay.

Then, I stitched the two layers together.  I will admit,  my sewing skillz are pretty much limited to pinning fabric and running it though that machine as fast as it can go.  Therefore, I consider myself a Mad Sewer.

Christmas is all about the sparkle, so I used my Silhouette again to cut out the letters JOY from  Iron-on Gold Glitter Heat Transfer and followed the instructions on applying to fabric.   This was my first time using Iron-On heat transfer too.   Can I say, love it!

After the heat transfer  was set, I  stitched the pennant banner together using red ribbon and hung it up to enjoy.

I love the way this simple Christmas  Drop Cloth Banner turned out.  I also highly recommend digging around your garage or heading off to the hardware store to pick up some drop cloths of your own.
