Valentine Banner!

I made these cute banners last year with my sisters. They were quick and easy and I think anyone could make them.

 All you need is 1/4 yard of burlap, white paint, red paint, white or clear extra fine glitter, jute, paper clips, ribbon and a glue gun with glue.
I cut my burlap on my cutting mat with my ruler and rotary cutter. The top is six inches wide and then I cut it on a diagonal at the 3 inch middle point. You can get about 12 pennants with 1/4 yard if you are careful. I then made a heart stencil by folding a paper in half and cutting out a heart shape.  I used a foam brush to blot the red paint in the heart stencil in the middle of the pennant. Let the red paint dry completley. When dry you can dot the white dots on your heart with a sponge dabber(like the gray and white one in the picture) You can even put your stencil down again(make sure it is dry on both sides) to make your white dots go off of the heart a little, while the white paint is wet sprinkle on your glitter and then shake off excess and let dry.  When those are done- I hot glue the just to the back of the pennant and let dry.  Then tie ribbon on paper clip and clip to the top of your pennant. Makes a darling Valentind decoration!
