Patriotic | A Sweet Berry Designs Blog

Craft Lightning is here and the theme this time is Patriotic! I’ve created this super simple USA banner that can be left as is or it can be jazzed up with whatever decorations you’d like!

Materials:

Kunin Felt: Red, White and Blue
Scissors
A wooden dowel
Ribbon
Hot Glue Gun and Hot Glue Stick

How I made it:

With a 9″ x 12″ piece of blue felt, fold it over a wooden dowel and glue it done on the ends.

Using scissors, cut the letters USA from the red and white felt. Glue them in place on the front of the banner.

Tie a piece of ribbon to the dowel on each side of the banner.

Now it’s ready to hang up! You can hang it on the wall or on your front door!

I hope you like this super simple USA banner.

Until next time……

Happy 4th of July to everyone! I hope that everyone is having a great time celebrating the birth of our country! To help celebrate and decorate for the 4th, I made these Patriotic Hoops!

Materials needed:

9” x 12” craft cut of Kunin Classicfelt™ Royal Blue, Red, and White
8 inch Embroidery Hoops
Felt Glue
Hot Glue Gun and Glue Sticks
Sizzix/Ellison Die Cutting Machine and Cutting Pads
Laura Kelly’s Lemonade Capital Alphabet Die
Cutting Mat, Rotary Cutter, Ruler
Star Stickers

How to Make it:

Take the embroidery hoop apart, place a sheet of felt in the hoop and replace the top hoop.
Cut the excess felt from the back.
Cut strips of felt (1″x12″ for the USA Stars and Stripes and .25″x12″ for the God Bless The USA hoop).
Glue the strips to the back of the hoop and cut the excess from the top.
For the stars on the USA hoop, I used stickers as patterns. I placed the stickers on the white felt and then cut around them.
Using the Sizzix/Ellison Die Cutting Machine, the cutting pads and the alphabet die, I cut all of the letters needed.
Glue the letters down using felt glue.
