Back to School Banner


Found this deck of "cards" at the craft store and knew right away I could do something with them! I think they are for scrapbooking, but I had other plans. I love the vintagey/retro simpleness of the shapes and the pictures! 

That was all I used.. plus some ribbon I forgot to put in the picture!
The cards
Package of eyelets
Hammer
Mat &
Ribbon

Then I just did eyelets in each corner, tied them together in the right order and hung it up. Pretty simple and not too time consuming. I would call it a naptime craft, but only if you have heavy sleepers, the hammer is a little loud!

    or if you don't want to make a noise while setting eyelets... use a Crop-a-Dile... if you dont' have one Brit, I can give you one! I have 2!!!!
