Pom Pom garland

The great thing about making your own garlands is you

can custom make them for any holiday, event or party you want.

We love twine in any color.

What you will need:

Pom Poms in your choice of colors

Needle

Thread

 We chose green and white for St. Patty's Day.

{We wanted more of a Kelly green but could only

 find this more limey green}

We bought them at Hobby Lobb.

 I tried to thread it with my twine but my needle was too small to fit the twine through.

  I think it will totally work with a bigger needle.

So I just strung mine with thread.

Thread your Poms and make sure you hit the middle.

 Strung so cutely on my chalkboard.

 You won't exactly need "luck" for this little project,

it will be Just Plane Easy.

So dress up your house for St. Patrick's Day

so you don't get pinched.

I made a few different strands of these in several lengths and colors.

  The shorter ones I am going to string between

2 dowels for a cake topper.

This will be super quick and easy for a colorful project.

Kiss me anyway prints

We are doing an all green dinner on St. Patrick's Day,

this will be our 3rd annual one we have done.

I plan on printing these for that dinner.

These prints are sized 4x6.

They are perfect for these frames from Ikea 

which we love to use for parties or dinners.

The best part is they are only .99 cents!

We love cheap accessories.

Bonus now they come in more colors.

And hey you can always spray paint them if they are 

not the colors you want.

 I've used them for several parties.

Used here for our luau party to mark the party favors.

Also here for my Dad's 65th golf themed Birthday Party.

We love the saying on this print.

We hope to get lots of kisses on St. Patrick's Day too.

Enjoy your prints.

Irish green that is.  Soon our reds and pinks will come down and up

the shamrocks will go up.

Keep checking back for more St. Patrick's Day printables coming soon!

we will be sending an "Airmail package" from Just Plane Cute

Burlap Mini Interchangeable Banner

When deciding to make a burlap banner we thought let's make a

neutral one that you can interchange between holidays.

Why make 100 different banners?

Make one neutral background and change out the embellishments.

Now that's Just Plane Smart!

Our mini burlap interchangeable banner.

The great thing about making your own is being able to custom adjust the size.

More pennants, less pennants, bigger ones or smaller ones.

And you can make it fit your frame, or mirror, etc.

 Regular burlap found at JoAnn's on sale for $2.99 a yard.

Cut your triangles out any size you desire.

 Burlap is messy folks!

Don't wear black, and cut over something.

We also slightly burned our edges to stop the fraying.

BE CAREFUL!

You can easily light it on fire, remember lightly burn the edges.

 Handy dandy glue gun for the ribbon.

Glue your burlap in the middle and fold the ribbon over evenly.

Leave some on each end for hanging.

 We found this burlap-looking chevron ribbon at Hobby Lobby

for .99 cents, and it was 50% off.  Score!

Doesn't it look just like burlap.

Perfect for your banner.

 We would always say use an odd number of pennants

whatever size you are making.

 Here comes the interchangeable part.

Using mini clothespins we clipped our shamrocks

{pre-cut in a bag at JoAnn's $1 section}

These shamrocks also have sticky backing so you could stick them if you wanted to.

Why cut all those shapes when you can buy them for $1,

plus they are thick and feel sturdy.

Let your imaginations run wild.

You could spell Luck, or Lucky, or Irish

on your banner.  Use alternating colors of shamrocks,

you get the idea, the possibilities are endless.

 

Same banner now for Valentines day.

This heart is from a pack of table scatter glitter hearts found at the Dollar Store.

Who doesn't love some glitter?

 If you want specifically a Valentines banner choose a ribbon 

that is your color or theme.  

 Wahsi tape!

We are loving all the endless ideas on how to use wash tape.

Perfect for hanging your burlap banner on your frame.

 You can see how many ways your banner will transform.

We are thinking mustaches for Father's Day, eggs for Easter,

stars for 4th of July.  Are you loving the versatility of this burlap banner?

Burlap is so fun to play around with because virtually it is a blank canvas.

We love the idea of one cute background being able to be 

used for many holidays or parties.

We also can't wait to make a bigger version,

would be darling with painted XOXO on it.

Happy crafting!
