Painted Burlap {Fall} Banner

I think painting burlap is my new favorite thing! Paint makes burlap, stiffer and so much easier to handle. This banner was super simple to make, here is what I did! 

I up-cycled an old happy birthday banner that I made last year, I grabbed some paint and a brush! I wanted the banner to look handcrafted so I didn't tape off my lines, I hand painted stripes judging by eye their distance apart.

I have experimented with a bunch of different ways to hang these flag banners, and by far hot glue is the best solution!

 
Here it is, it was great not to spend any extra money on this fall decoration. I will re-use it every year!

Finally the Ravens made it back to the super bowl; and where do we LIVE??? CALIFORNIA! After living in Maryland our entire lives the Ravens make it, and we are living in the rival state! That did not stop us from having a purple party, peppered with a few Niners fans. I just have to tell you this,  I took a ton of awesome pictures of our Ravens Party on my new camera, and my SD card decided to stop working :-(. I would have liked to through my new camera at a wall I was so mad. So here are the pictures from my phone, wish I had more.

I took some old burlap and made a banner, I used my rotary cutter to cut triangles and made some stenciled letters from computer paper. I used a hole punch to thread ribbion through the flags, and that was all!

Here it is hanging up!

I had to add some purple and gold bow's to spice things up.

I wanted to bring baltimore to california, so I attempted to make 'Burger Cookies'

The recipe was actually pretty easy, just a lot of steps.(I found the recipe here) Berger cookies are a cake cookie topped with fudge! They were a hit at the party.

Here is the Baltimore themed dessert table! Sorry, I haven’t posted picture of the new house, I’m trying to get it semi-decorated first!

Here are some pictures I have recovered from my Camera.
