    Holiday Banner Love

    Garlands and banners are a fun way to dress up your fireplace mantel, bookshelf, staircase or even front porch for the holidays. I love banners for several reasons: it only takes a few minutes to hang a banner, they don’t take up much storage room in the off-season, and they aren’t much of an investment.

    One of my favorite sources for banners is Pottery Barn. I love their simple yet interesting designs. Every season at least one of their designs catches my eye.  I love the tiny details that make their banners extra special such as beads and glittered eggs.

    Make vs Buy

    As much as I love their holiday banners and garlands, I would rather save my money for big-ticket Pottery Barn items such as furniture. When I read the catalog description of this banner I discovered that it is made of cardstock and cotton twine. Since neither of these supplies cost much I decided to try making the banner.

        Jody, I used Rockwell Condensed.

        If you are having trouble with the download please be aware that the print preview on box.com may not be loading due to your computer system or internet security. Even without the preview loading you can hover over the blank page and should see a grey rectangle at the bottom of the page that contains different controls including a printer icon. Hover over the printer icon and the words “printable version” will appear.

        Click on this printer icon and the PDF will automatically download a version that can be printed or saved. Hope this helps!
