Congratulations Burlap Bunting Banner!

 Congratulations Burlap Bunting Banner!
There is always reason to celebrate!
I found out that my sister in law had been at her current employment for 9 years
and we decided to celebrate!
I think it's important to celebrate every day.
Sorry about the pictures.  This banner turned out way longer than I expected!

 I had some gorgeous burlap paper from DCWV
You can find it here
I cut into 2 inch by 3.5 inch pieces!
And red paper 1/2 inch smaller so it would have a 1/4 inch border.

 I used a pen to write C-O-N-G-R-A-T-U-L-A-T-I-O-N-S on each piece.
Again, this is MUCH too long of a word for a banner.
Try a word that only has 5-8 letters...like Congrats or Party or Yay...
Okay, 3 letters would be great too.

I added some rhinestone swirls for decoration

 Hot glued the pieces in order on some twine.

 Tied the ends to skewers.

 And covered the backs with washi tape to look awesome!

 It was a huge success!
The sign turned out gigantic--it's so big it's hard to take pictures of!
Congratulations is way too many letters!

 I had to tape them on jam jars to keep the sign up--a cake wouldn't hold it!
I love this burlap paper!
