My grandson Easton is all into Halloween this year--he's already insisting on wearing pumpkin shirts! Since, I'm headed to Charleston for a visit, I thought I'd make him some little Halloween banners to hang in his room. The Cute Halloween Suite of products, some black glitter paper (#153518), black baker's twine (Baker's Twine Essentials pack, #155475), Basic Black card stock, the Tailor Made Tags dies (#155563) and the Playful Alphabet dies (#152706) were used to create these fun banners:
The Cute Halloween Suite (#156279, all inclusive order number) includes the following products which were used on the banners: Cutest Halloween Bundle (#156483/stamp set, #156480; Halloween Punch, #156482); Cute Stars adhesive backed sequins (#156484); Black & White 1/4" gingham ribbon (#156485); and the Cute Halloween designer series paper (#156479). The suite also includes Tombstone Treat Boxes (#156486)--which I will be decorating for Easton to share with his day care class.
The pumpkin, ghost and skull images were all punched or fussy cut from the designer series paper. The spiders were stamped and heat embossed in black with the web lines drawn on with a Black Stampin' Write marker. All of the designer series paper tags were backed with Basic Black card stock to make them durable. I adhered the paper to the card stock before die cutting the tags. Each tag also has a Basic Black reenforcing tab at the hole (dies for these are included in the tag die set).
To string the tags together to create the banner, I threaded Basic Black baker's twine through the ribbon or baker's twine on the backs of the tags (yes, that's a plastic dental floss threader you see in the photo):
I can't wait to help Easton hang these in his room (I've got a package of removable plastic hooks packed in with the banners).
Have a wonderful week!
