Well, I’m going to detour from the shelf posts to show you the Spring Banner the kids and I made today. It was really simple and I like how it turned out.
We started with these awesome Dollar Store egg doilies (FYI, they had cute, yellow tulip doilies too).
Then I printed and cut out letters spelling SPRING, and glued them on.
Next we took some scraps of fabric (love when I can use some scraps!) and cut them into strips.
Here are the kids cutting their favorites.
We taped and tied it all on some twine and wallah!…We had ourselves a Spring Banner! ….AND…It basically cost me 1$!
This is obviously on the opposite wall from my Gallery Wall, which is showing in the mirror.
I’m off to put some finishing touches on the Spring Mantel! Can’t wait to show you all!

I'm a wife, a sister, a daughter, a mother of 5, a Jesus lover, a coffee abuser, an obsesser of all things DIY, design and decor related.
Most of what you'll see here are ways to live inexpensively, and how I put those into practice with my constant need to renovate houses.
We are a military family of 7, so houses must come big and inexpensive, and made beautiful as we go, turning what most would see as trash, into treasure.
Thanks for stopping by, stay awhile and make yourself at home. I hope you enjoy my ideas. 
That is really cute! Working on my own little Spring banner/bunting tonight. Hooray Spring!
Yes! Hooray for Spring! It was beautiful here last week, but is almost snowing this week. boo.
It’s so pretty here today, but we are getting all kinds of winter weather warnings for the weekend. BOO!!!

What a neat idea! I’ll have to try that. I just found your blog through the Teach Me Tuesday link up. You have some wonderful ideas. I will be visiting again!
You had my creative heart when I saw the doilies–how cute! My daughter has asked for me to replace an old banner in her room and this would be perfect.
