Carter's first Birthday is 1 month away! My husband and I decided to use bright colors
as the theme of Carter's Party. We have plates, cups, decorations and balloons
in all different colors. I want to make
this celebration special since it is a milestone for Carter and so exciting for
the rest of our family. Trying to make
this party have as many personal touches as possible, I've been collecting
ideas for different items I can create.
The first item I attempted was a tiered fondant cake, though
the first test run was not as colorful and fun as I had envisioned. Looks like we are going to be eating a lot of cake this month! Since I
need more practice in the baking and cake decorating department, I decided to work
on another project this week instead.
Thinking of what decorations may be needed, I decided a
Happy Birthday Banner would be perfect!
This quick and easy project will not only be used this year but for his
future birthday parties as well.
I started by creating a template for the triangles and chose
7 different solid fun colors. This is a
perfect idea for the American Brand Cotton Solids!!
I then used the iron-on Silhouettes and placed the letters
on my triangles.
I cut 2 inch strips from one of the fabrics and sewed them
together until I thought it was long enough. Finally I sewed the strip
(folded) to the triangles.
Carter's First Birthday Banner is complete and I couldn't be
more excited! I cannot wait to come up with another idea for next week!
Thank you
Sarah
Happy Birthday, Carter!
