I have always wanted to make a banner using doilies and when I saw the new green ones that SRM has I knew it was gonna have to be a St. Patrick's Day banner! This project makes me really wish I had a beautiful fireplace mantle - since I don't we have it hanging up in our kitchen entryway.
This was super easy to create - let me share with you how I did it! I used foam adhesive and layered a Gold Lace Doily on top of a Green Lace Doily. They layer perfectly because the Gold ones are four inches and the Green ones are six inches.
I used gold vellum to cut out stars and attached those to Large White Punched Pieces. These again layered perfectly onto the doilies as they are 2 1/2 inches in size. Adding letters to spell out LUCKY and some gemstones was the final touch.
I hung them on a piece of Solid Peapod Twine using clothespins. If the look of clothespins isn't your thing or you don't have any - you could just string the twine through the doilies and make a great banner too!
I love it when companies make such versatile products - good for not just paper crafts but home decor too

Fun idea for a banner! I like your clothespin trick - makes it so easy to switch to different banner flags, depending on the occasion.
