Cute Snowman Banner just in time for Christmas!

Hi creative and crafty friends! Today is my turn up on The Greetery Blog! And, as usual, I'm posting my project here too! I hope you're doing great and having fun getting ready for the Christmas this week! I love to decorate my home for Christmas and make lots of pretty crafty things to put around… For my project today I created a cheerful and happy snowman banner using the brand new Honeycomb Snowman dies and the Snowflakes #2 dies. This project brought a smile to my face the whole time I was making it, and now it's hanging up in our dining room! Do you enjoy making home decor items too?! This is a Winter themed project, so I'm going to leave it up through January probably. When I decorate the house for the holidays I use all kinds of colors and themes. Then, once Christmas is over, I take down the obviously red/green/Christmas decorations, but I leave the snowmen, snowflakes, and Winter decorations up for the month of January. It just makes the holidays last a little longer during the foggy January days….

 

To make my snowman banner, I started by die cutting out all the pieces to make four snowmen from the new Honeycomb Snowman Die set. I assembled the snowmen and then added those most adorable snow white honeycombs! I die cut out five silver glitter paper snowflakes to put in between the snowmen on my banner. I used a long length of twine – around six feet – and used my hot glue gun to glue the snowflakes and snowmen onto the twine. It was really a fun and easy project and I love how it came out. I used bright colors for their ear muffs.

 

A few of my little finishing touches include – Copic marker shading on the die cut pieces of the snowmen, White gel pen accents, and bits of Diamond Glitter to give them a bit of shine! This would be a great group project or one to do with the kids too. The goal is to have F-U-N!
