DIY - Baby Shower Edition... Part 2.

And now for the burlap banner... these are ALL over Pinterest. I love how simple and pretty they are, especially when draped across a mantle.

Step 1:
You will need burlap, a paint brush and some paint, ribbon to attach your pendants too, and some accent ribbon. (Yes - this project is as cheap as it seems)
Step 2:
Cut out a pattern for your pendants. And then trace that shape on your burlap.
Step 3:
Get your painting area ready... when you paint on burlap, the paint DOES bleed through. Just a warning. :)
Step 4:
Paint your phrase, words, or design on your pendants and let dry overnight. Burlap soaks up more paint than you think.
Step 5:
Bust out that hot glue gun... glue each pendant on to your main ribbon. I used a burlap/twine-esque ribbon that I found at Jo-Anns. Here's a "duh" comment, but if you are going to hang something in between, make sure to test it out BEFORE you glue.
 
Step 6:
FINAL PRODUCT... burlap banner with fabric onesies. Total project time = about 2 hours... when you take out the overnight drying and laundry load that had to be done.

And tomorrow, the baby wish book... another SUPER EASY project that will be a sweet keepsake for the mommy-to-be.
