Multi-holiday banners

Published 2018-11-13

This was the first Halloween that we celebrated in our new house!  With that in mind, we made the groundwork for 2 multi-holiday decorations that we will reuse for each holiday. 

Hem the fabric sections so they look nice and frame-like.  Banners that hang outdoors should have a curtain rod sleeve on the top and bottom.
Usually curtain rods are too long.  Even cheap sheet metal curtain rods can be cut with a pipe cutter. 
Use a pair of needle-nose pliers as a spike to resize the pipe after cutting.
The banner on the left has a bottom rod while the right one does not.

We used picture wire, but any kind of hanger will work to get these hung up on a wall or a door. 

For the rest of the year we will be going to the fabric store to pick up cute holiday-themed quilting fabric and making these simple banners.  The only expensive part of this project was the curtain rods, which will be reused.  The fancy ones were about $15 each and the cheap ones were about $5 each.
