I searched throughout several stores to find a "bachelorette" themed banner I liked but hated most of them. Then it occured to me to make one and after scouring the internet for ideas, I came up with a relatively simple banner to cook up. Warning: IT'S MESSY. Why is glitter such a bitch to clean up??? [Update: I found glitter on my dog today - several days after completing this project.]
You will need:
Computer & printer
Scissors
Mod Podge
Sponge brush to apply glitter
Copious amounts of glitter
A dish to contain as much glitter as possible
Twine
Hot glue gun
1. Select font & size for your phrase and print it out.
2. Cut out letters.
3. Apply Mod Podge to paper (I did this over a piece of wax paper to avoid a gluey mess)
4. Place letter in a dish that's filled with glitter face down until it's completely covered with glitter and shake off excess. (I discovered this technique half way through the project so the glitter was already everywhere but maybe you can save yourselves)
5. Once the glue has completely tried, lay out the letters and place them face down.
6. Lay the twine over where it will be attached to the letters and apply a line of hot glue to secure in place.
7. Once the hot glue has dried, I suggest laying a sheet of wax paper over the banner and place something heavy on it over night to avoid curling.
