Banner: play

UPDATE:  I found out where I saw the clothespin idea....Shanty2Chic.  They reposted it in their favorites for 2009.

I am trying to complete the new playroom. I got an idea from a blog to use the giant clothespins from Hobby Lobby. With the advice from _______ (I don't remember which blog I saw them on), I painted the clothespins and distressed them. Then, I made a banner using scrap fabric and felt to make the word play. I hung the letters from rustic looking rope. The look still isn't finished, but here is what it looks like so far.

Birthday Banner

My little girl will turn 2 on October 18th! I have been making preparations for her 2nd birthday party. Today I made a birthday banner. I got the idea from some other blogs I read last week. I plan to make another banner soon! My husband told me it would be a lot easier to just buy one....this is true, BUT I enjoy things like this! He did go on to say that I couldn't buy a banner that would be as cute. Ok, maybe he didn't use the word "cute", but his point was the same. :)
