Sometimes it’s the small simple crafts that can bring you the most joy.  Yesterday afternoon, I put this little Today Be Happy banner together in under an hour and I’m completely smitten.

What supplies do I need to make a Be Happy banner?

Ribbon Embellishments
Gold Foil Paint Pen
Peach Paper Straw
White Felt
Scissors
Scrapbook Paper
Hot Glue Gun

How do I make a Be Happy banner?

My first step was cutting to size and gluing down the different ribbon embellishments with a hot glue gun.  I also used my gold foil paint pen to add some polka dots down the side.

Next, I folded the canvas over a peach striped paper straw and hot glued the canvas down to itself.  I used the straw instead of dowel rod.  I liked the color it added.

I cut down some scrapbook paper to size and wrote “BE HAPPY” on it.  Then, that was glued down.

Last, I cut some white felt and made a little flower for a fun final touch.

I have plans to hang this little beauty in my soon-to-be updated office + guest room.  I guess I need to stop doing cute wall decor and start actually working on the actual office + guest room, ha!
