    Christmas Decorations: PB Inspired Merry Christmas Banner

    Published: Dec 24, 2014 · Modified: Apr 14, 2021 by Bren

    A holiday banner is an easy way to dress up any room for the season. It also adds holiday charm to parties and celebrations. One of my favorite sources for seasonal banners is Pottery Barn. Their simple styles are classic yet stylish. This Christmas I am in love with their glitter Merry Christmas Banner. It features a classic font that is highlighted by the red and silver color scheme.

    I was all set to click “add to cart” when I noticed the price, $22 for a banner made of paper cardstock letter, twine, and glitter. I decided I could easily make my own banner for a fraction of the price using glitter cardstock that is available in the scrapbooking section of most craft stores.
