The first thing you need to do is set up your vintage fabric and measure it. I don’t know how much you’ll need, because that’s what you set up in your Budget!
Cut a piece of heavy duty fusible interfacing to size for your fabric. I ironed the two together.
Now use fabric chalk or any white chalk to draw letters for Happy Birthday. Each letter must be unique.
You can trace letters on cardboard and trace them onto the device. You could also use letter stencils to trace.
Now, use some twine to cut out the letters of your Happy Birthday banner. Add any line of all letters! This is important so that your Shabby Chic Happy Birthday Banner can last for years!
Now, you have a few choices to narrow down the Happy Birthday Banner Together. You can use small grommets and place to eat top left and right bottom left right of each letter. tie up dirty letters of elegance with knitting, ribbon, or yarn!
Now, you can use some of those office supply metal tabs that you slide through the hole and open the back to hold things. In this case I would like only the top cut with holes on the left side and the right side with a happy birthday flag drawn on it. This way, with a flag, you can hang an easy piece of paper at the bottom to make a nice bow.
If you want to keep some of your vintage fabric, I can also photocopy you fabric at Kinko’s. Print them fabric on the back panels. You will cut a happy birthday sign out of cardboard. Use those sheers MEDICINE again. And you can trim them as before.
Now, for one last idea of a great looking shabby chic happy birthday banner no one will forget cut out the first part of the letter then put the second one a little smaller it is. Now superimpose the small letters corresponding to the larger letters. Combine them together to create pattern, texture, and a lot of impact. Tie back the happy birthday banner together as before!
