My sweet princess, Georgia, turned 4!
Here are my favorite pictures of her in front of the banners with Maximus (apple-loving member of the Royal Guard) and her cousin, Cooper.
Want to make your own? Here's how...
This was the initial inspiration at Disneyland. I knew I wanted to make a simplified version of these.
I bought rectangular plastic tablecloths in two shades of purple. I cut them into 12-inch strips. They're 54-inches long just because that's how wide they came and I'll all about doing less steps.
Clear packing tape is awesome. I taped the strips together.
Next, I made 1-inch fold and taped that down. I stuck a wooden dowel through that I temporarily removed from an American flag. To make sure it would move too much along the dowel I attached the banner with a tiny bit of glue from my trusty hot glue gun.
I gathered the ends and used a twist-tie to keep it together. I covered the ties with satin bows with flowers hot glued in the center so it was okay with me that they didn't match.
To decorate it, I made paper vines which I hot glued on. I used my Cricut Cake Basics cartridge for the vines. I cut them with "fit to page" on so they were almost 12 inches long. I also bought some flowers from the Dollar Tree.
