How to Make a Banner with Burlap and Fabric

I made several banners for my daughters wedding.  I made some in blue and some in green, since those were her colors. 

I cut out the colored fabric, leaving an inch on each side of the burlap.  I used a cup to round off the edges.  You can make a pattern and then use it for each piece, so they'll all be the same size.   I then cut the other fabric and used wonder under to attach it to the colored fabric. 





 

I used a zig zag stitch to attach the fabric. 



 



I actually drew out my own letters.  I made 9 squares on each paper and then filled them in with the letters I needed.  Using a ruler, it really wasn't hard to do.

 

 

 

 

I attached the letters with wonder under and then used a zig zag stitch to attach them in the center.

 

 

I added a zig zag stitch to the burlap, to keep it from unraveling.  Then, I folded them over about an inch.   This is where the ribbon or burlap will go through. They just need to be tight enough so they won't move around.

 

 

I attached the fabric to the burlap and again used wonder under and the zig zag stitch. 

 

 

 

 

 I used matching ribbons to hang them. I love the way they came out. Here's a few of the ones I made. I liked having the colored fabric on them.  It just added a little more color for some of the tables.
