Giving Thanks Banner

November 16, 2012 by Holly Gagnon 12 Comments

Have you printed off the FREE Thanksgiving printable banner from Jinger Adams yet?  If not, go do it now and get you’re creativity started so you can link up to our Giving Thanks Link Up Party.Jinger has created this banner as a way of saying thanks to all her supportive fans and would love for you to link up your Giving Thanks project.

So let’s get this party started!  Here’s what I came up with…

use printables to make a thankful banner

This was actually the first time I’ve ever used printables images for a project and….WOW! This project was super easy and completed in like no time.  I hoped to make a banner too for Thanksgiving but I didn’t think I’d have the time to pull something together. These printables totally got the job done for me!

I decided to hand cut a mat for the printed pennant and then used Cricut Art Philosophy to cut the scallop edged pennant.

The whole banner is embellished with left over leaves and stamps from previous projects that I never used.   This project turned out to be the perfect way to use up those Fall scraps that I had laying around.

I added various, buttons, gemstones, burlap, CANDi and raffia…..Geez.. I really do heart raffia!

I then strung the banner all together with another one of my favorite things, Jute twine.

Banner’s aren’t the easiest things to photograph but this gives you an idea of how the whole project turned out.
