Fabric Banners

Over the weekend, my parents visited and my mom helped me make some fabric banners.  There were 2 that were gifts for her friend, and then a couple Halloween banners as well. 

We managed to have enough materials laying around to come up with 6 Halloween banners, but only got 2 made.  I have the materials set aside for 2 more large banners and 2 smaller banners that I will finish up and list on ETSY this week. 

I love making custom things, so if you or someone you know would like a custom banner, please email me!

Each pennant on the larger banners measures 12" long and 10-1/2" wide at the top.  The smaller pennants each measure 9" long and 8" wide at the top.  Length, of course, depends on how many letters you want!

Here are some banners that I have made in the past, thought I would re-post them here!

This is in Zoey's room across her windows.  It's her great and great-great grandmothers as Fairies and Princesses. 

This is the one that spans across Jake's windows.  Now, if we could just decide on a name, I could make another one for the nursery! 

Coffin Pendants

These did turn out much better than last years try. I decided to solder {lead-free, of course!} them after I cut out the domino. Then I used a resin spray over top, but it didn't get as "covered" as I thought it would, so I topped it off with some Ranger 'Glossy Accents'. Now it's nice and shiny and the print is protected. Each pendant measures 2" tall with the jump ring, about 2-1/4" and is 1" at it's widest point. They are amost 1/2" thick cut from old wooden dominos. Listing them on ETSY today!

Spooky Spider!

This little spider was just listed on ETSY. Hopefully she finds a new home for Halloween! Her body is orange stained glass, she has black & irridescent beads for legs and a pretty vintage bauble for some extra decoration!

BOO Banner!

Here's a little Halloween banner I just finished up. It is made from crinkled paper, tulle, glitter letters and some ribbon to hang. The word & tulle measures about 28" and overall the ribbon to hang is just over 48". Adding this to my ETSY store today!

Now I am working on perfecting those Coffin Pendants that didn't make the cut last year!!

New ETSY Items!!

Well, we have had some major changes around the home front & it's now time to start listing some things on ETSY again! I am trying very hard to get back into the creative mode, really I am. It's just not coming so easy. Now school is back in {one less child, three days a week}, I am well into my 2nd trimester {and feeling much better} and am ready to force some creative juices to flow whether they want to or not.

I made these stone pendants and am pretty pleased at how they turned out. They are beautiful natural stones I bought a few years back on one of my annual Yankee Peddler trips. Can't remember the vendor I bought them from. They are wrapped in copper foil and soldered in lead free solder. They range in size from the smallest being 1-1/4"x1-1/2" to the largest being 1-3/4"x3", so they are pretty good size! It's not a whole lot, but definitely a start, right?!?

Thanks for looking & I am off to add these to the shop :) Stop over & see HERE! Have a great Tuesday~
