Historic Fourth of July Pennant Banner.


It's almost July, so of course, I'm in the mood to make banners!!
I started by cutting American history pictures from a coffee table Americana  book I'd was ready to get rid of. 
I mounted them on card stock and trimmed them festively. 
Adding old book paper lollies with stick on letters and tiny flags ... 
When I got home I painted the letters and used glittered fingernail polish to finish them off. 

Here it is hung in my dining room window!!  Happy fourth everyone.

      Jann, thanks so much for your kind words! One of my daughters who isn't a big pennant banner girl said she loved this one because of the old photos!

      Thanks for the lovely party. Such nice girls, great food and one of the loveliest table settings I've ever seen. Leaving early was a bit torturous. Thanks so much for including me!!
