Nothing says "I love you mom" like a handmade gift from the heart. Create a sweet felt banner to express your love and appreciation for the special mom in your life.
Materials:
- Felt
- Dowel (or branch, popsicle stick, chopstick)
- Twine
- Pom Pom
- Glue
- Scissors
Instructions:
Fold felt in half and cut from inside to outside to create pointed bottom. Cut out and glue desired shapes and words to decorate banner. Fold banner slightly over dowel and glue. Attach twine from one end of dowel to the other. Add embellishments.
Pro Tip: If Elmer's Glue doesn't seem to be doing the job, feel free to use other glue options. Aleene's Tacky Glue works wonders with felt. If you want to avoid working with felt all together, switch over to paper!
Voila! Mother’s Day gift making session for this year has now been completed.
