I’ve had plans to create this Be You banner for the baby’s room for a while, but I haven’t had time to do it until now. With all of the pretty faux florals showing up in Michaels new floral market, I had to skip my original idea to make this banner out of felt and turn it into a little fern hanging. It added some lovely texture and color to my baby’s room. Want to make this for your home? It’s easy. I swear. Check out the how-to below.
Supplies needed to create the Be You Fern Banner DIY:
- 8.5 x 11 wood craft board
- Green paint
- Faux fern floral
- Sparkle foam sheet
- Balsa wood trim
- “Be You” free printable
- Hot glue
- Scissors
- Command Strips
Directions:
Step 1: Print out the “Be You” words onto some printer paper. Cut out the paper words, trace them onto the foam, then cut the words out of the foam.
Step 2: Pull off all the fern stems from the branch.
Step 3: Paint the board green and let dry completely. Since I didn’t have any dark green paint in my supplies, I mixed a couple together.
Step 4: Starting from the bottom and working up, start to glue the ends of the ferns onto the board. Create two points with the ferns to make it look like a banner. Continue to glue until you reach the top of the board.
Step 5: Cut the balsa wood trim to the width of the banner and glue it to the top over the fern ends. Glue the “Be You” words onto the ferns.
Step 6: Apply command strips to the back of your banner and attach to the wall.
You’re done! If you don’t know where to begin with your floral project, you can always take a look at some of the fun projects on Michaels.com or the other 49 Makers’ ideas on The Glue String for to see how they personalized their crafts!
