My line of piece of occupation solid unit of measurement together with I are away on a big route trip to the western side of the reason (follow along amongst us here on Instagram!) together with are spending our terminal hateful solar daytime at Disneyland today earlier nosotros motion on to other things. However, I'm excited that I tin also last hither to part a uncomplicated projection amongst yous using some of my favorite things from Ikea!
So, although it's summer, schoolhouse is nonetheless inwards session unopen to here... DIY Summer School, that is!
I'm together with then excited to accept been invited past times Beth of designPost Interiors to participate inwards this creative summertime series, together with along amongst seven other talented bloggers we're create to teach our creative juices flowing together with part some dandy ideas amongst you.
This week's challenge was to come upwards up amongst an Ikea hack. My closest Ikea is three hours away, but thankfully I had some things inwards my stash from previous trips. After a quick brainstorming session amongst my Mom together with sister, nosotros came upwards amongst the thought of using what I had on paw for a cute patriotic banner. Good timing since the fourth of July is exclusively i calendar month away!
This projection was super easy, together with fifty-fifty if yous don't accept the supplies from Ikea, yous tin purpose your selection of cloth to brand i too. And, there's non i fleck of sewing involved, either!
Here's what you'll need:
2 Ikea dishtowels, I had several on paw together with then I chose ruby-red together with bluish striped
Coordinating cloth or burlap (my striped cloth is also Ikea)
2 ruby-red felt squares
2 bluish felt squares
letter patterns
white cloth paint
fabric mucilage or hot glue
jute rope
wooden mini-clothespins
red, white, together with bluish marbled yarn (not pictured)
The procedure is pretty self explanatory...
I used stencils that I had on paw to line the letters USA onto felt. If yous necessitate to, yous could precisely draw upwards letters inwards your favorite font together with impress them out for a pattern. Then, I precisely cutting the Ikea dish towels to size, fishing the bottom to a betoken for to a greater extent than of a pennant look. Since I had the basic white amongst ruby-red stripe together with the bluish together with white stripe towels on hand, I alternated patterns. You could sure enough stick to i together with it would last precisely equally cute, though. I also used my pinking shears to cutting everything together with then the raveling would last at a minimum, no necessitate for finished edges here! Adhere the letters to the striped backing slice amongst cloth mucilage or hot glue.
I used the same procedure to add together ii stars on the edges, adding a stitched expect along the border of the stars together with letters amongst some cloth paint. You could sure enough embroider this for existent if yous wanted a truthful stitch, but this did the play tricks inwards a hurry for me.
My pennant pieces looked a fleck plain, together with then I institute some cloth scraps (striped from Ikea, left over from my son's bedskirt, together with bluish geometric from Hobby Lobby) to dorsum them. I considered making a larger version of the pennant cast to frame them, but inwards the goal favored a smaller strip downwards the middle instead. I also thought nigh using burlap for the backing piece... whatever cloth that meets your sense of savor would work.
After gluing the striped backing strip to the dorsum of the alphabetic quality pennant, I used my tutorial institute here to brand some red, white, together with bluish tassels for the betoken at the bottom, together with hot glued them to the back.
Finally, using some pocket-size clothespins (found at most arts and crafts stores), I clipped it all onto a length of jute rope. Right straight off it's hanging on the gate outside, but it would also last together with then cute across the front end porch, on the mantle, or across the china cabinet. We'll regard where it ends upwards when the fourth genuinely arrives!
