An Easy DIY Fall Banner

You might remember that amazeballs old window my friend just GAVE me earlier in the year. I couldn’t believe my luck when she told me she had a window and would I want it? Ummmm…YES PLEASE! It’s been a lovely addition to our family room, and something I love changing up with seasonal stuff – usually in the form of a wreath. But I had a different idea for Fall…a banner!

So I went to Michael’s and spotted this canvas pocket banner kit.

I looked at my window and decided the words “Happy Fall” would be the perfect size. So I dug out my stencils and went with these block letters – they actually aren’t even stencils – they’re stickers I think I bought from Lowe’s a couple years ago?! Like in the section with mailbox numbers and stuff? I liked the block-iness of them so I bought them and trace them like you would a stencil. It’s just that you’re tracing the outside instead filling IN the inside!

I used pencil, then filled them in with a Sharpie black marker.

As it turns out, my Sharpie was running low on ink…which actually made me happy. The letters turned out a little faded/grey looking. Gave it a vintage vibe. I was digging it!

The kit comes with twine, so I just dabbed the slightest bit of hot glue on the back of each letter and stuck it on the twine string. Secured it with a little masking tape on the back of the window, where you can’t see it…and here it is!

And since I have a little Fall wreath hanging to the left of it, it’s the perfect non-wreath solution! Oh, and did I mention it was $7.99 plus a 50% off coupon?! Four bucks for decor? I’ll take it!
