Easy DIY Floral Spring Banner Decor

I don’t know about you, but I love a good garage sale! This easy DIY Spring banner was so fun to make and almost all of the supplies I used were from an impromptu stop at a neighborhood garage sale! Let me show you…

THE BACK STORY…

It started when I was on my way home from dropping off my daughter at school one morning (in my pajamas–yes, you read that right). I never noticed the signs pointing towards the obvious garage sale going on, but I couldn’t miss the unmistakable furniture in the front yard and all the buzzing from cars pulling off the side of the road to take a peek. I followed suit. Immediately, I started spotting things I couldn’t live without (well, at least not at those prices, LOL). I was so excited at all of the DIY materials I scored for only $20.00, that I did this quick video showing off my goodies on Facebook! Here it is for you , if you missed it! GARAGE SALE VIDEO

THE PROJECT

Spring finally came a few weeks later, and I was looking for a banner to hang across my mantel. I remembered the floral DIY materials I had rescued from the garage sale a few weeks earlier and decided on a plan to make a Spring banner.

SUPPLIES for a SPRING FLORAL BANNER

Banner of your Choice (mine was on clearance at Hobby Lobby)
A few floral blooms of your Choice
Torn Strips of “Rag Ribbon” or Floral Cotton
Gel Art Ink
Rae Dunn Inspired Lettering Stencils
Hot Glue Gun

The process was so simple. You can watch it here from my FACEBOOK LIVE VIDEO TUTORIAL. I took the floral blooms and hot glued them to the fronts of the first and final banner flags. Then as I painted each letter in order right to left in order to spell the word “SPRING” on the front of the banner flags, I would tie on 4-5 random rag ribbons on the connecting string in between each of them. It was easy and fun to do! I was pretty pleased with the way it turned out, too!
