View a YouTube, create colorful banners to add excitement to your next party, a holiday or as home decor.

     Celebrate every day! Party stores carry all kinds of signs and streamers but it is much more fun to put your own personal touch on a special occasion. Create a distinctive banner to add to the festivities of a holiday or simply to celebrate spring or decorate a child's room.



     Paper Accents™ by Petersen-Arne are heavy weight chipboard pennants that come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They are sturdy enough to allow the addition of all types of embellishments, scrapbook papers, paints, ribbons, fabrics and glues. The book 'Banners Swags and Pennants for Every Occasion'  will give you lots of ideas and complete instructions for 40 projects.




My students showing off their mini banner necklaces.

     While at CHA this year one of the make and takes for the booth was using the mini banners as a necklace. This would be a great project for a child's birthday party. They use their imagination, burn off some energy and create their own memorable party favor.

     I will be teaching in some wonderful venues this year, the Artists' Materials Expo in Santa Fe in September and the Art and Soul Retreat in Portland in October, I would love to see some of you in my class. I hope to be adding more workshops through the year. Be sure to check the sidebar of my blog for an updated schedule of classes.
