The Twinery Valentine's Blog Celebration - Day 6!

Welcome back to the 6th day of the Twinery's  "Be Our Valentine" Blog celebration ! 

 

 

Today, just like the sign says, we're bringing you banners and garlands...here's my Valentine's Banner:

 

 

I had a lot of fun creating this!   I cut the double sided shapes using my Silhouette and hung them along a clothesline of Strawberry and Stone Twinery Twine with some little clothespins!  Here are some close -ups:

 

 

 

 

 

 

I tried to do a little something to each of the main banner pieces involving twine. On the first piece, I created a dangling heart in the cut out portion of the pennant using some Stone Twine.  

 

Such a simple thing, but I love how it looks!!  On the center banner piece, I created a "plaid" center by adhering Maraschino, Stone, Blossom and Sorbet Twine in a grid pattern between the two layers of the banner.  It's actually such an easy technique, but it looks like you spent hours!

On the remaining pieces, I used some Maraschino Twine to outline the lips, created a wrap with some Stone Twine and added a little bow of Stone Twine to my hearts. 

It really was a fun and pretty easy project to put together, and I love how it looks on my fireplace mantle!

Now for a giveaway!!!!  Each day The Twinery will be giving away a prize.  Today's prize is a banner punch!   I am also giving away a prize to one lucky commenter on my blog this week... our largest Twine Sampler, The Rainbow Sampler Pack!  This Sampler Pack contains 15 yards each of 22 colors, and is a $39 value!
