In preparation for Memorial Day and Fourth of July I wanted to make another banner. So, out came my cricut! I don't use it very often, but it does come in handy for projects like this. I scored some scrapbook paper at Joann's for 6 for $1 that I was planning on using as a flag banner for a cake smash, but I ended up using something else. I decided this would be perfect for my star banner! It's such a simple project and I love the way it looks, don't you?!
I used 6 sheets of 12X12 scrapbook paper: 2 blue, 2 red and 2 white. I used the "Plantain Schoolbook" cartridge (the one that comes with the cricut). I set the size to 2 1/2" and chose the "fill page" option. It cut 16 two and a half inch stars. I did that for one page of each color.
Then I did the same thing with the other three pages, except the setting was for 3 1/2" stars. That gave me 9 stars per page.
Then I used white thread and my sewing machine and sewed all the stars together. It's that easy!!
