Black burlap left over from my Pottery Barn-inspired holiday pillow became a small JOY banner. Red letters, white snowflakes, and striped ribbon carried the Christmas colors onto my rustic pallet shelf.
Cut and stencil the burlap triangles
The supplies were burlap, letter and snowflake stencils, craft paint, brushes, scissors, and ribbon. I used the triangle shape from my earlier family-room burlap banner as the pattern.
I cut three triangles from the black burlap and dabbed on white snowflakes with a Dollar Tree stencil. Then I stenciled the red letters J, O, and Y, one on each triangle, and used ribbon across the top to form the banner.
Decorate the shelf with pieces already on hand
I hung the banner across my pallet shelf with burlap and chicken wire. The red wood made a backdrop for decorations I had owned for years, including the separate silver-colored JOY letters bought at Target.
The green Christmas vase with red dots and Sparkle Mod Podge went on top. Its greenery and ribbon brought the display above the banner as well as onto the shelf.
This banner was part of our Christmas Tidings project series. The other projects pictured below were Cottage at the Crossroads’ peppermint twist pillow, On Sutton Place’s fringed burlap tree, shown in its project photo, and Creative Cain Cabin’s vintage grain-sack coasters made from a drop cloth.
