Valentine Burlap Banner

Hellllooooo everyone! How is the New Year going for you? 

 We're doing great! I'm excited to see what this year holds for our family--new years are always so much fun!

 So today I want to share with you this cute, simple banner I made. 


 My mantle was looking so pitiful after I took down my Christmas decorations. So I threw some stuff together, and left it alone. But the more I looked at it, the more I kept thinking that it needed SOMETHING extra....

 Since Valentine's Day is coming up, I thought this would be PERFECT!

 I printed out letters I found over at the delightful Shanty 2 Chic blog, and found some burlap remnants.



I cut out my letter triangles, traced the triangle with a slight overlap onto the burlap and cut out burlap triangles.

Using some twine, clothespins and my letters, I put this sweet banner up and BAM! Just what my mantle needed.






I noticed after taking these pictures that the bottom of the triangles were separating from the burlap, so I fixed that with my little ole glue gun.

 Lovin' it!
