Hi Friends,

Today, I'm so excited to share how I have decorated the top of my bookcase for 'Americana Summer' in my entryroom.

In this vignette I have brought in my vintage red lunch box a few vintage hens and a few other collections.

I have use a vintage USA Trivia Game box as a base, a few vintage 'Ball" canning, a embellished aluminum bell cookie cutter

I also included a Vintage-Inspired Patriotic Assemblage , I made last Summer, also a vintage George Washington reader.

adding another layer with a Vintage Bingo Card and another one of my vintage hens.

I really like using this vintage silver-plate mug to hold a handful of red posies

I framed a free print of a Eagle, I found on Pinterest

I'm using a vintage crock bowl to house a few boxes of Sparklers and a vintage 'Milk-Glass' vase with a couple of Fabric Posies.

An 'Old Reader's Digest' I found last summer, a few Diy Firecrackers in a berry basket.

This vignette is setting in a yellow Coca-Cola wooden crate. I also used my wooden children blocks to add a little color along with handmade sign to represent Freedom!

Americana - Inspired Fabric Banner - Handmade Fabric Craft

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share a very Americana inspired simple fabric project.

***

I've shared that I'm always on the lookout for fabric at a reasonal price, so using fabric I had on hand.

***

My first step was to make a triangle template and using my pinking shears, cut out 12 triangles out the blue checkered fabric.

 Then, using a star template I cut out 12 stars from the stripe fabric

I also have a good stash of buttons

The next, step was to glue the star on the triangle piece of fabric and top it off with a button, I chose white buttons

Once, those pieces were dry I ran a line of glue to the top of the triangle and attached the blue ric/rac trim.

Let me know what you think about this simple craft?
