CFC #104 - Use Banners or Flags



This week's CAS-ual Fridays challenge is to use banners or flags on your project. I love using banners, and am looking forward to seeing some new ways of using them in the gallery this week. Our sponsor this week is Ellen Hutson, so you know there is a fabulous prize waiting for the winner!


Personally, I was very happy to have a reason to use these banners that have been on my desk, in my drawer, in my shoe box lid, basically moved all around my craft room from a project that didn't work out last year. Now they have found a home and a purpose! I cut two vertical lines through the burlap panel and then removed the loose horizontal fibers. The banners wrapped around the remaining fibers, and that was that. 


I ended up using a book binding format on the card by scoring 1/2" from the left side, sticking an orange paper inside, and sewing down the margin. Just for something a little different. 

Sure hope you'll stop by CAS-ual Fridays to check out the inspiration from the amazing design team, and to link up your own wonderful creation!

Thanks so much for looking!
