Hi!
Welcome to Foster Kids Birthday Party's Blog Hop! Many of you may be familiar
with CardMonkey's awesome banner hops for kids... I was so inspired by them
that I wanted to find another opportunity to do good with my crafting. I
happened upon a volunteer at Birthday Magic at a work event & followed up
with them. They loved the idea of handmade birthday banners, so I put out the
call and I was lucky to have 15 awesome crafters join me! So today you will get
to see everyone's creations! ...
I used the Cricut Disney Font cartridge with the Charm option for cutting out the letters. The Mickey Mouse shape came from the Cricut Disney cartridge. I double cut each shape and adhered them together to make them stronger and more durable. I then used the black and white twine from The Twinery to string them together. To give it a little more sparkle I used Stickles to embellish the letters and mouse ears. Here is a close up shot:

honor. For more information on sponsoring a party please contact us at
