{Grateful Pocket Banner} 

Thanksgiving Crafts
I like the idea of upcycling jean pockets into a banner for Thanksgiving. You and your family can tuck little messages in the pockets and share what you’re Thankful for on turkey day. 

GPB1
Supplies: 4 pairs of toddler-size jeans, letter stamps, StazOn ink, light colored fabric.  Not pictured:  Crop-a-dile, 16 eyelets, string, twine or ribbon (I used kitchen string), a circle template or glass to trace, sharp scissors, pinking shears, craft glue (I use Crafter’s Pick). Optional: sewing machine and random embellishments.   

GPB2

Cut out 8 pockets using your sharp scissors. Leave about an inch around the two side and the bottom. For the trip, leave as much room as possible.

GPB3
Using a circle template or a glass, trace and 8 circles on your fabric.

GPB4
 Grab the letter stamps and StayzOn and stamp a letter in the center of each circle   

GPB5

  GPB6

Line up the pockets and trip the tops to make them even-ish while leaving enough room for eyelets.

GPB7

 This next step is totally optional.  I chose to use my sewing machine to make a circle border around each letter before I glued them on the pockets.

GPB8

Use the handy Crop-o-dile to set two eyelets in each pocket. That’s where the string with go through.

GPB9

Use the string/ribbon/twine to “string” the banner

GPB11

Here’s the banner without embellishment. 

GPB12

I went through my stash and grabbed anything in the color scheme I was using.

I cut eight 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 squares out of cardstock to tuck in the pockets.  Since we have eight people in our family including grandparents, I am planning to have everyone write down what they are thankful for on a square and them read them at Thanksgiving dinner.
