Again!!!!! Yep.....again!!!

I just can't leave well enough alone.  

The backs of the ladder back chairs in the dining room looked like 

they needed something.

So.....they got SOMETHING!!!

I made some monogrammed banners to hang on each chair.

Each person has their initial of their first name on their chair.

This is Jeff's

Mine....{Crystal} 

Harlee's

and finally...a "G" for a guest that might happen to eat with us.

I started with a cardboard box that I received some crafting supplies in from Cricut.com....woop woop!!!!  

Love my Cricut....just sayin'

Ok, back to the deets of this project. As I was saying,  I started with a cardboard box. 

I ripped it open and cut 4 triangles for the banners.

I distressed the triangles by ripping some of the smooth paper off to reveal the corrugated paper underneath. 

 I then used white gesso and scrumbled some on hap-hazardly. Let it dry and meanwhile I used my Expression and the Old West cartridge and cut out the letters.

Black shadow and patterened DSP was cut at 4-1/4"

Used some dimensionals and placed them on the center of the triangles.

I torn a piece of a patterned velum and adhered it with clear glue. Glued down a white button and also a small white clothes pin.  

Then using a border punch and white card stock I made the scallop edges. 

Then using a hot glue gun I adhered some pearl strings around the edges and left long tails at the bottom.

Then I ripped some fabric strips and used some white and black seam binding and tied it around the tails of the pearls to make a faux tassel. 

Added some more torn fabric to the top corners for hanging.

Tied them to the chairs and stepped back and clapped for joy. 

I absolutely love them!!!!

Until later, sit a spellers.......Gotta sit split.....TFL!!!!!
