Burlap and Leather Thanks Banner from BD Design

Hello Tipsy friends. I am Brandy and I’m the author over at BD Design, a blog providing ideas and inspiration for home decor, simple DIY crafts, and home improvement projects mixed with a little bit of real life! Today I’m sharing a quick tutorial for a burlap banner that is perfect for Thanksgiving.

Right now I am loving LEATHER! I thought I would dress up the usual burlap banner by adding some texture with these fantastic leather pieces.

I found this gorgeous metallic bronze leather at Hobby Lobby and cut out the shape a little smaller than my banner pendant. Isn’t it SO pretty?

I wanted more texture on top of the leather so I sent a cereal box through my Silhouette and cut out the letters T-H-A-N-K-S. Cereal boxes make the best chip board! Instead of throwing them away, cut the boxes up and use them for future projects! If you don’t have a Silhouette than you can just buy chip board at your local craft store. Then I painted the letters GOLD.

I attached the pendants together with rich colored ribbons and lace. You can embellish as much as you want. I knew I would be hanging this banner on my hutch that already has a lot going on so I wanted to keep it clean and simple.
