I love banners and I love making them even more! I’m not always great at decorating for every holiday, but with one simple banner in my entry way I feel like it can make my whole house feel festive for any given holiday. When I found these Halloween key designs I just knew that they needed to be my next banner project! How cute are they?
Supplies Needed:
- Silhouette CAMEO® or Silhouette Portrait®
- Silhouette Cutting Mat
- Silhouette Cutting Blade
- Silhouette Studio®
- Adhesive cardstock
- Glitter
- Double-Sided Adhesive Starter Kit
- Design ID #66272
- Design ID #66276
- Design ID #66275
I loved the designs so much that I wanted to keep things simple and really show the design, but just cardstock seemed a little too simple for some reason. So I decided to join together two Silhouette products to make the banner more fun. I used the adhesive cardstock for my first product and then the glitter and technique from the double-sided adhesive kit for my second product.
- Cut the designs in a variety of sizes and colors out of the adhesive cardstock.
- Apply the glitter liberally to the adhesive side of the designs.
- Use the brush from the starter kit to make sure the glitter is applied evenly.
- Shake off excess glitter.
- Line up the keys to get the layout you want.
- Attach keys to a yarn using sewing thread.
- Hang the banner and enjoy it throughout the holiday season!
It’s as easy as that! I love having the contrast of the glitter and the cardstock as the keys spin around when they are hung.
I love your banner and how you added some glitter to parts of it!
i love your banner <3
Glitter really does make everything better! So fun, Amy!
I never thought of making the keys big like that and making a banner. How cleverly ghoulish of you!
ps your nails are really cute too.
Very cute idea Amy!
is there a link for the key shapes? or did you make them yourself?
Love this banner and would like to recreate it for my home
Very, very cute!
Very cute, Amy! I love glitter, and those keys are excellent for a Halloween banner.
The designs are from StudioIlustrado. http://www.silhouettedesignstore.com/?page=view-shape&id=66275 , http://www.silhouettedesignstore.com/?page=view-shape&id=66272 , and http://www.silhouettedesignstore.com/?page=view-shape&id=66276 . (Sorry that I don't know how to do this properly)
Using the sticky side of the adhesive cardstock for glitter is a great idea. I'll have to dig out the glitter and try a few.
