Cheap, Quick and Easy DIY Thanksgiving Banner



My home needed a little something.

We live 2 1/2 hours from the nearest Target.

I'm pretty sure I'm about 4 hours from a Hobby Lobby... although I can't even tell you where one is located.

I couldn't just run out to find something new to add to my holiday decor. And, I have two little tornadoes that keep me plenty busy!

So, I can testify that this is super QUICK and EASY... it makes a great last minute project to add a little pop to your decor. 

Everything I used I previously had on hand.

Here you go:

Start by picking what you want it to say. I was torn between "give thanks" and "happy thanksgiving" - but since I've been striving to focus on what good is happening in our lives without wondering how all of our circumstances are going to work out, I settled on "give thanks." 

I'm choosing to praise the Lord in the midst of the unknown.

Anyway, then head to TemplateFrees.com and print out the letters you need.
I printed mine onto card stock and cut them out while sitting next to the tub as my kids bathed.
Multitasker. ;)



Then, I grabbed these paints that I had bought for another project.



I painted the letters while watching this during nap time (even though they weren't actually sleeping)...





Again, multitasking. ;)

Let 'em dry...



and hang em' up. (I used tiny clothespins and twine)



It's really that simple. (I put gold glitter on the yellow letters to give it a lil' something extra)  ;)



DO IT. 

Hope you enjoyed this! 
What's your favorite piece of holiday decor? (homemade or store bought)
