i love my birthday.
seriously, i would marry it if i could.i just think it is the greatest thing in the world.
i started with 1 yard of funky fabric, 1/2 yard of flannel, and 1/4 yeard of just regular white fabric.
i figured out how many triangles i needed for my banner (20-and i still have left overs!). like my method of cutting? i marked 10" on the peice of wood and went to town.
next i pinned all the funky fabric triangles to the flannel so that they would have some backing to them. the fabric, although funky, wasnt thick enough.
then i got some of the scraps (i alternated between the funky and the flannel) and sewed them to make a line to hang all the triangles on. i also tided some scraps of fabric and pink tulle at the ends for that added bit of girly-ness!
now-what i should have done first was stamp out the letters. i have like 4 sets of foam stamps, but these are my favorite. i used them here, wth some aqua-y paint. (you cant tell but there is some aqua in the funky print) these take a bit to dry. (yes, i do get a month! all 3 boys get their own birthday week. the'd get more if they werent all in november.)
here is the end product! it says 'happy birthday month ba'!

hahahaha!! LOVE it!! man, i should have done that!! maybe hubs would have remembered what i wanted earlier than 3 days before!!!
I love it. I think its great how much you love your birthday. I think maybe I need to start celebrating mine.
What a cute idea! Me, I never look forward to my birthday but always end up very happy on the day. I'll probably stick with the one day thing, but I'd sure keep that awesome banner up for all of January.
At least it would be a little different than the usual "winter" decor!
Your Birthday banner looks GREAT! Thanks for linking it up to Anything Related!
