Spring Wall Banner
These banners are really fun for the kids to do. They also make a pretty nice decoration to hang up in honor of Spring and save year after year. Even the youngest crafters can glue the Spring objects on the banner!
This project calls for a 12 x 12 inch piece of felt only because it is easier to cut that way. You really only need a 6 x 12 inch piece, if you happen to have a scrap piece that big laying around.
Materials
- 12 x 12 Inch Piece of Felt
- White Glue
- Scissors
- 12 Inch Piece of Yarn
- Scrap Pieces of Felt
- Other Decorating Accessories

Directions
1. Cut the 12 x 12 inch piece of felt in half, making 2 pieces that are 6 x 12 inches each. |
 |
2. Lay the 12 inch long piece of yarn on the felt along one of the 6 inch edges, placing it about a half inch from the edge of the felt. Put a line of glue along that edge and fold the top edge of the felt over to cover the yarn. You'll have to hold it a few minutes until it sets. Let Dry.
3. Tie the ends of the yarn together to make a loop. Cut off the two bottom corners of the felt so that they form a point. |

4. Cut out any kind of Spring shapes you want and glue them onto your banner. You can also glue on other decorating accessories like sequins, buttons, ribbon, artificial flowers and leaves, etc. |

More Ideas
1. You could create one of these banners for just about any theme -- holidays, seasons, birthday, etc.
2. You can make a banner that you can use the whole year... Make the basic banner and put velcro on the back of all the pieces. That way you could switch them out with different pieces to reflect different holidays or seasons. |
