What you need:<\/strong>
\nBurlap
\nScissors
\nTwine or rope
\npre-Cut Letters
\nStapler (or your choice of adhesive)
\nBlack Sharpie<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Here’s what you do:<\/p>\n

Cut your burlap into large squares.\u00a0
\nThey absolutely don’t need to be perfect matching squares.
\nThis is for a party – not your wedding!\u00a0 Plus, a rustic feel is part of the cuteness factor here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Place your letters onto your burlap. Being sure they are centered.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nStaple away!
\nYou could easily use fabric adhesive if you would rather. I chose a stapler simply because both of my children’s birthdays were outside and I was afraid of them falling off with the wind.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nOnce you are finished with all your letters, take a black Sharpie marker and go over each staple so they will not show!
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nFray the ends of each letter’s square.
\nYou may want to keep a window open.\u00a0 Burlap has a distinct strong\u00a0aroma when working with it.
\n\"\"<\/a>Cut a small sliver of a hole on the top two corners of each letter.\u00a0\u00a0 Be sure not to cut too large of a hole.\u00a0 Or\u00a0too near your fray.
\n\"\"<\/a>Lace\u00a0 your twine or rope through each of your letter sqaures.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nDisplay\u00a0your fantastic banner\u00a0at your event!
\nAccept all lavish compliments.
\nIf someone asks you how you made it,\u00a0be sure to make it sound complicated. \u00a0
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nYou can add ribbons if you like!<\/p>\n

\nI’ll definitely post photos of the finished product…and party!<\/p>\n
