Scrappy Fall Banner with 52 Mantels

Sharing is caring!

I’m Emily from 52 Mantels and I’m so happy to be here today, sharing the tutorial for my scrappy Fall banner!  And, if you want the rest of the details from my Fall Mantel, you can check out today’s post on my site.

You might be wondering about my blog name. 52 Mantels comes from a personal challenge I gave myself when I started my blog- to change my mantelscape every week for 52 weeks. Prior to that, I suffered from a bad case of the mantel blahs. I needed some motivation to get creative with my mantel decor. So, every week for an entire year, I swapped my decor around. I’ll be honest, I was majorly burned out after those 52 weeks! So, now I only swap my mantel decor out with the changing seasons and at holidays. You know, like a sane person ;).

When I do change my decor around, I like to create new things to keep it interesting. Enter this scrappy Fall banner. It was so easy to make, and inexpensive, too! I started with one of those fabric-covered chipboard album kits from the dollar bins at Michaels. These were perfect because they came with 4 pieces and already had holes. Plus, they have a fun linen texture on the front. Want to make your own? Keep reading!

Scrappy Fall Banner

Supplies: 

Fabric covered chipboard album (with 4 pieces)

Mod Podge in matte finish

Scrap fabric pieces

Alphabet stencils spelling “FALL”

Scissors

Pen

Paint brush

Jute

1) Gather your supplies 2) Pick 4 fabrics scraps and place a stencil letter backwards on the backside of each piece of fabric. Trace and cut out. 3) Paint a bit of Mod Podge on the chipboard, where you want your letter 4) Place one letter on each chipboard and paint Mod Podge over it 5) Paint Mod Podge over entire chipboard surface 6) When the Mod Podge dries, place the banner pieces on a length of jute. I doubled the jute for extra texture. 7) Cut out 15 pieces of fabric scraps, each about 2″ by 5″. 8) Tie each piece of fabric on the jute, between the banner pieces. A simple knot will due! I tied 5 pieces between each section of banner, for a total of 15. 9) Hang banner on your mantel!

This really is a simple and inexpensive project! I hope you give it a try.

    I left a comment for Emily on her blog. Love this post, I have a few of the chipboard pieces so will be making this one. I’m finding I have to make something more sturdy to hold up if I want to hang it out on our porch railings. Great post. Happy week

You can catch up on the full process on my stories, I saved a highlight reel under “bathroom Reno” so you can check it out. Today didn’t go quite as planned with a lot of roadblocks but my goodness I can’t believe how much it changed in a weekend!

I love that each of our kids have requested a read I love that each of our kids have requested a reading corner from in their rooms. While they don’t always read here, it’s always nice to walk in and find them relaxing, playing on games or electronics and feeling like they have a space of their own that they helped create! And I must say, I’ve spent some time in this chair while we do homeschool and it’s pretty cozy!
