Pastel Valentine Lace Banner
I obligated myself to make *something* for Valentine’s day to decorate.
I was about to take the easy way out and buy everything at the Dollar Tree. As much as I love the Dollar Tree they sure know how to take the DIY out of everything. It’s SO easy to just buy and stick up pre-cut glitter hearts but it sometimes it doesn’t force the creative edge to come into play.
So instead I picked up some heavy-duty card stock paper in pastel colors along with four feet of stretch lace and decided to make this bright banner instead!
It totally screams Peppa Pig to me!! (which you might not get unless you have kids.)
It’s not perfect. The edges aren’t perfectly pointed and the threads aren’t snipped off but that’s okay. It’s hanging up above where no one can notice and judge.
The best part of this project is that once I got all the paper cut into the triangles, the project went super quickly because I used my sewing machine. I’ve never considered sewing paper before but I’m happy to find that it works great!
