My most recently completed wedding project is my wedding banner/scroll. Instead of the traditional 'ring bearer pillow' for my nephews to carry, I opted for a banner. It took about two hours to complete. This was such a fun easy project, here's how I did it.
What I used:
22"x26" banner (I used material left over from my isle runner that I bought at Michael's)
Sharpie paint pens, various colors; fine and medium tip
ribbon
wooden dowel (36")
fabric glue
1. Begin with your design. I made each design and printed them as tiles then taped them together to create my template.
2. Next I Put my banner paper over this template and traced the design.3. Once the design was on, I looked and thought it need a little more, so I added pink glitter to the L.
4. I then added my ribbon on each side. Using the fabric glue, I attached the ribbon to each side of the banner, leaving about 2" at the top and bottom so that I could fold it over later for a clean look.
5. Once it dried, I folded the top pieces of ribbon down over the dowel, measured and fastened with more fabric glue.
6. While that was drying I added a third piece of ribbon as the bottom border and let that dry.
7. Once all the ribbon was dried and attached, I folded the extra end pieces and glued in place.
All done!...except, I'll do something to finish off the dowel... probably wrap in ribbon or at the very least paint it. I keep looking at it thinking about what else I could add!
