Quick and Easy Botanical Print Banner
Today is March 1st and it definitely came in like a lion. The wind was blowing and snow was flying all afternoon! But I’m not going to let it get me down. I made a quick and easy botanical banner to complement my spring decor in the kitchen that I plan to share with you this coming Tuesday for the Seasons of Home – Spring Edition tour. Yes, me and my favorite bloggers are showcasing spring inspiration that’s Blooming with Color starting on Monday and lasting all week. You’ll see the schedule at the bottom of this post, but for now, let’s get on with this pretty botanical print banner!
I have always loved botanical prints … they’re simple and colorful.
I layered the prints on top of vintage sheet music before hanging them up.
First, tear out your sheet music. Rather than cut it to size with scissors, I tore it so the edges would be a little ragged. Second, print out botanical prints of the same size, or tear them out of a book. Third, tear the botanical prints to a size slightly smaller than the sheet music. Finally, place a botanical print atop the sheet music and clip to twine, rope, or ribbon to create your banner.
I used mini wooden clothespins to hang my prints.
That’s it! No gluing or pasting. The most time-consuming part was tearing the sheets to size.
A truly quick and easy botanical print banner to add color to your home.
I used a little bit of pink …
… and a little bit of blue.
And of course, I couldn’t resist adding a pretty rose to the botanical print banner.
There are so many botanical prints available, but I tried to use ones that were similar in style and color.
I added pink and blue flowers to the ledge of the hutch, to mimic the colors in the botanical print banner. Be sure to stop back on Tuesday to see the full reveal of blooming colors in my kitchen. And visit the rest of the ladies during the week, too!
