Hi Friends! Here's a free printable Thanksgiving-ish banner for you:
The flowers are made out of a few other simple supplies:
Circles punched from grocery bags, 8-10 cup coffee filters, rit dye, raffia and brads
This is how it all fits together to make the flowers. Just trim some of the filters to give the flower a little dimension.
First, dye the filters with the Rit Dye. I use salad tongs a metal bowl. The less water, the stronger the color.
Set the filters on paper towels to dry.
Pretty stack of orange and yellow.
Make the center of the flowers from upcycled grocery bags. Use a brad to hold it together.
Trim the coffee filters post-dye and crumple/uncrumpled them up. Trim to the size(s) you like.
Happy flower.
Happy flower(s).
Thanks for Love Notes by Lauryn for the graphic design.

Very nice! Love those banners!
Adorable, Malia! Very cool font. I love the flowers, too.
That looks great! If you get a chance, I’d love to have you link up to my party at https://scrapbookingez.blogspot.com/2011/11/anything-goes-linky-party.html. Thanks for sharing!
Darling! And such pretty flowers…
It’s lovely! Thanks so much for sharing, I’ll be linking.
Those flowers look great. You took a lot of effort to make them. Thanks for sharing the tutorial. I love how the banner turned out.
Oh that is so cute! Especially those flowers :)
Love for you to join my Linky Party – JAQS “Made by ME” at https://www.jaqsstudio.com/2011/11/made-by-me-6-linky-party-and-features.html
Love the “lace”
Absolutely beautiful, Malia! I love your technique for dying the coffee filters. I’m sharing a link on my Facebook page today.
With all the blog parties out there, and at one of the busiest times of the year, it means an awful lot that you take the time to share your talent on “A Little Birdie Told Me…” Tuesdays at Rook No. 17!
