DIY Moments: Vol. 17 No. 2
April showers bring May flowers – and although it is only February, we can’t stop dreaming about the wonderful garden parties we plan to throw this spring! Bridal showers are first on our agenda, and our crafting experts have created a beautiful collection of bridal party accents using new our Springtime Wreath Kit. The soft colors of our new kit make it perfect for showering a bride-to-be with a lovely outdoor bridal party.
Use this kit and our downloadable template to create a beautiful bridal shower banner. Check back soon to discover other creative ways of incorporating this kit into a bridal shower that will have her blooming with joy.

Steps
Using the digital template provided, print out the letters of your choosing to use for your banner. Our template includes the entire alphabet, so you can create any custom message you’d like. We recommend printing at full scale.
Using either scissors or a craft knife, straight edge and cutting mat, trim your banner flags. Our Banner Punch Board makes cutting the pennant bottoms quick and easy, but this can also be done with your scissors or craft knife.
Once you have completed cutting your letter banners out, cut out slightly larger pennants on cardstock – these will be layered below the letter banners to create a boarder effect.
Adhere your letter cut outs to the white pennants using the tape runner.
Using a hole punch, punch holes in the top corners of each pennant. String your pennant using ribbon or yarn. Starting on the left corner of your first letter, string from the front to the back so that the string only appears between each letter.
Assemble a couple flowers from our Springtime Wreath to add some dimension to the banner. Directions for this are included in the kit.
Adhere the flowers to the outer corner of the first and last letters of each word using tape.
