Are you ready for another No-Sew Sunday? I’m joining my non-sewing bloggy friends for a round-up of easy summer projects! For me, summer means play time … and play time means a fun, festive banner! I think you’ll love this little summer banner that you can put together in literally minutes!
A fun banner is such an easy way to add color in any space.
Most people use them for parties, but I like them any day of the week!
Mix and match fabrics add whimsy, but you could easily keep them all the same too.
The first thing you want to do is choose your fabrics. I found these complementary swatches at Walmart for less than a dollar each, and I had plenty of fabric left over (so I’ll have to create another project with the scraps).
Cut a triangle pattern out of cardboard and trace onto your fabric. Use pinking shears to cut your triangles. The jagged edges will keep the fabric from fraying. I cut through several layers of fabric at once so I wouldn’t have to do a ton of cutting.
Then all you do is hot glue the short edge of the triangles onto a stretch of ribbon. I used grosgrain ribbon. Leave a bit of length at the ends of your banner for tying it up.
I found the perfect place to hang my no-sew summer banner!
All in all, it took me less than 30 minutes to make my festive summer banner.

One of my favorite scents is eucalyptus. For as far as I can remember, I’ve always had a eucalyptus wreath in my home. I think they’re pretty all on their own and don’t need further embellishment. But if you want to add a little color to the greenery, simple flowers or a bow will do…

Every kitchen island needs a couple stools where friends can sit and hang out while you finish preparing morsels of tasty goodness. My kitchen island had no stools and I didn’t want to buy anything new. As luck would have it, I found two matching stools on two separate occasions at the local flea market….
In addition to bottles, I’ve got a fetish for boxes. Small boxes, big boxes. Square boxes, butterfly-shaped boxes. It doesn’t matter. The plainer the better so I can transform them into something pretty. Here’s my latest decoupage project … Choosing decorative paper and figuring how you’ll use it is always the fun part. There are…
We’re still in the throes of winter, many of us are quarantining, and I thought it might be nice to focus on a little bit of luxury. What better way to unwind and de-stress than with a therapeutic soak in the bath tub? Add fragrant, homemade lavender rosemary bath salts to your bath for increased…
