DIY Patriotic Rag Fabric Banner

 

1/2 yard each – 6 different fabric choices (5 or 7 choices work well too)

FABRIC NOTES

• When shopping for fabric go straight to whatever’s on sale and
•  choose by colors and generic prints. The cute holiday or 
• occasion prints can become lost once the fabric is cut into strips.
    
• For this garland I chose 6 different fabrics, 
  
  
•  strips cut at 18″ long, which will then be folded in half
•  when stringing. 
•  1/2 yard of fabric measures approximately 18″ x 44″ 

CUTTING FABRIC

5 fabric choices –  cut 18 strips per fabric choice x 5 = 90 strips total
6 fabric choices –  cut 15 strips per fabric choice x 6 = 90 strips total
7 fabric choices –  cut 13 strips per fabric choice x 7 = 91 strips total

Hanging string (jute twine) measures 80″L – or 5′ of fabric strip space 

with 10 extra inches on each side for hanging.

Direction : 

Lay your stripes out in the order you like and start

 tying them on by making a loop and inserting stripes through loop. 

Once the first fabric strip is secure on the twine, move on to the next strip 

and tie it to the twine, then scoot it over next to the first tied strip. 

Continue to tie strips until all 5, 6 or 7 fabric choices are on the twine. 

 Repeat this sequence until all 90 or 91 strips have been tied to the twine,

 Then hang up and trim if needed. And Enjoy your banner. 

Diy wineglasses crafts

Whie shopping at the local thrift store I can across some wine glasses. I bought for 50 cents each . This is what I did with them

I made sure they were cleaned and dry. Then wiped with alcohol, let dry. 

Then I spray painted them with matte white primer. Let dry 

Then with paint tape I taped off for my red stripes. 

Then I taped off the stars and painted blue let all dry 

Added twine and tea lights.

Welcome back today for my repurposed wooden board. I started at Christmas time and each month I repaint and share a new design : May board celebrates Sunshine and Memorial day....

Underneath I free hand painted the saying Hello sunshine.....

World Bee day

Little Bee dancing on a flower using watercolor.  I love the magic of watercolor where just the addition of water you can make the color lighter or darker.

Today we celebrate World Bee day and all that Bees do for us. 

Including polanatting our crops for food production 

Helping our eco system.

So support the bees and other pollinators by planting bee friendly plants and saving there habitat.
