Easter Banner Day
I have wanted a banner for some time... but .. of course been putting it off. So with trying to get ALL my Easter crafts done in one weekend....
I went for a square banner.
I bought a pkg of precut charms in some great SpringTime colors.

I found a font I liked (with round edges) and blew it up to about 400% and printed them out.

Besides the precut 'charms', you will need a square of felt for the back, and a felt piece to match the lettering. Layer the Square felt, 'charm' , felt scrap and paper letter.

I love your banner! Banners are so in style right now - I have been seeing them all over - You are in the groove (wink!).
Your mama bunny is adorable. I made one similar to this many years ago - and when I say many I mean like 20 and I still think these are so darling!
I soooo love the baby bunnies in her pockets! And the banner is cool, too.
