Ghostly Halloween Burlap Banner

Oh happy day!  As many of you know, I’m not a big Halloween person, but I do like to challenge myself with  a project or two that I can share with all of you!   Recently, my sister sent me a link to a website called Jane, where they were selling some Fall and Halloween Burlap Banners that she knew would inspire me!  And that they did…  Today, I’m sharing my Ghostly Halloween Burlap Banner with YOU!

DIY Ghostly Halloween Burlap Banner with livelaughrowe.comSupplies needed to make your own Halloween burlap banner:
Burlap
Scissors
Acrylic Paint
Stencils
Sponge Brush or Daubers
Sewing Machine (optional)
Yarn Needle
Twine (for hanging)

Alrighty!  Are you excited?  I am {yee-haw}.  First things first, let’s cut the burlap pennants.  I made a template by cutting a piece of 8-1/2″ x 11″ cardstock in half (to measure 8.5″ x 5.5″) and cut a triangle into the bottom.  Personally, I like to double up my pennants.  So, for this banner, I cut out ten total burlap pennants.  Each of the five pennants will have two sewn together.

Cut the burlap pennantsThen we’ll prepare the stencils.  I cut mine out using my Silhouette; however, you can easily make these stencils by printing or drawing them on cardstock and cutting them out with an x-acto knife too.  My ghost was purchased from the Silhouette store and sized at 3.520″ high by 3.180″ wide.  The letters BOO are from the free font,  Witches Magic.  They were sized at 266.9 pt.

Making stencils for burlap Halloween bannerOnce you’ve got your stencils ready, let’s move onto the stenciling.

Tutorial for Ghostly Halloween Burlap Bannerone:  Place the stencils on top of a single pennant.
two:  Prepare paint and grab your brush or dauber.
three:  Start dabbing until you’ve completely covered the area inside the stencil.
four: Carefully remove the stencil and allow to dry.

Now let’s move on to the sewing.

sewing the pennant bannersIf you’re going to double up the pennants like I do, you’ll want to pair your stenciled pennant with a non-stenciled one.  Sew both sides and the bottom cuts FIRST.  Then you’ll fold the top over, creating about a 1/4″ hem and sew.  Be sure to leave enough space to string the twine through the pennants for hanging.  Go ahead and trim all the loose pieces of burlap and thread.  Below you can see how clean and fabulous they look {wink}.

string on twine using yarn needleGrab your twine and a yarn needle to string the pennants.  And guess what? You’re done!  I added a final touch to mine with a few pieces of scrap fabric on either side.  Woo-Hoo!  I love it.  I sent a pic to my sister and she responded with, “Ummm, super cute!” Score!

    Love your cute banner and great tutorial, very helpful. I don’t do any Halloween decos, no young grandkids any more or trick or treaters around our neighborhood. This one might get made though just for the fun of it.
    I’ve been making Fall decos for inside home since my Fall box seems to be lost in our shed.
    Gee wonder how that happened. Happy week

    Really cute — but how about cutting just one double-length piece instead of sewing two pieces together? The fold where they “join” would be an automatic, no-sew casing for the string. In other words, a double length piece of burlap, same width, and with the notches cut into each short end.

    I’m always looking for the easier way out!
    Love this banner — especially the cute little ghosties.
