Since we all love to visit the dollar section at Target, I thought I would share a quick DIY just in time for Christmas!
{Time} 30 mins
{Materials}
- Material (we used a placement from the Target dollar section}
- Paint maker, stickers, or stamp for writing
- Scissors
- Tape
- Hot glue gun + glue sticks
- Stick or skewers
- Ribbon or string
- Plan out how you are going to cut your towel by folding it on a flat surface. I love the triangular look at the bottom!
2. Fold the towel over and make lines with a marker where you are going to cut.
3. Cut one side of the towel and use the scrap that you cut as a guide to cut the other side. This will ensure that both cuts are the exact same.
4. Hot glue the triangular edges so your banner will lay smooth. Take your time so that you can create a straight edge.
5. If your material is too long like ours was: Cut the top of the material where you will be gluing your stick. Since my top had lines, I used them as a guide. If your material does not have lines, you could use a ruler to be sure that you cut a straight line.
6. Place a skewer (or 2) at the top of your banner. Hot glue the top over the skewers (our skewers were not long enough so we taped two together).
7. Tie your rope onto your skewers. I used a tab of hot glue to ensure that my rope would like come off.
8. Use a paint marker, stickers, or stamps to create a holiday slogan of your choice! We decided to write, “Santa stop here!”
My girlfriend, Ashlyn of Loba Design Co., and I decided a last minute Christmas craft was in order! Better late than never, right?! This crafts is super easy and all of the materials can be found in the dollar section at Target! Our material is actually a placement, but feel free to use ANY material. If your children are old enough, this would be a fun craft for them to join in on. I hope everyone is enjoying the Christmas season!! Please share any fun crafts that you made this season!
Keep in touch,
Dani
