Thankful Banner

Today I want to share a Thanksgiving Day Banner that I made for my living room. I wanted something simple and I just loved the way it came out!

The banner is cut at 6" from the Birthday Bash Cartridge.

The letters are cut at 4" from the Cricut Classic Font Cartridge. I cut two of each and adhered them together to make them a little sturdier. Then I covered them in Mod Podge and covered them in a blend of three glitter colors.

To decorate, I used some skeleton leaves I had in my stash, Prima Flowers, buttons and some adhesive rhinestones and pearls.

The orange leaves came from the Barney Show at Universal Studios!. At the end of the show they drop bunches of these leaves from the ceiling, and my sons picked a few of them up. I knew I would end up using them for something! LOL=)

I added some ribbon and my banner is done!
