Banners for Foster Kids Birthday Partys Blog Hop

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:
