From Scrapbooking to Banners and Bunting

Welcome to Scraps of Mind. I'm delighted to see you. Why not check out the site, and if you like what you see, subscribe to my RSS feed and get daily updates delivered to you.

I’ve come across a couple of sites in recent weeks that have featured making banners and bunting for your next festive occasion from your scrapbooking stash. And I thought “What a cool idea”.

scrapbook bunting pennant Bonnie posted this article on the Snap and Scrap Blog giving instructions and a template for making this cute banner for her daughters room.

Unlike myself, Bonnie has a good relationship with her sewing machine so she made this using fabric scraps, and I thought at the time that this could easily be made using scrapbooking materials.

Then the other day I came across this post on Jess Gordon’s Scrapbook Ideas Blog. Jess has taken it to where I was thinking and created a nifty template to use with your Digital Scrapbooking backgrounds to easily make these banners on your computer, print them out and voila, instant festive decoration.

I thought with the holiday season almost on us it might be a good time to share this with you .

Have you ever tried making your own decorations out of scrapbooking supplies? I’d love to know what you’ve made and maybe a link to a picture on your blog if you have one. I think I might try this out this Christmas, how about you?
