Freebie Friday : Homemade Pennant Bunting

I love the idea of hanging pennants/bunting, whether it be made from paper, recycled materials, or fabric. It adds such a touch of happy to any room. I had big plans to make both of my boys personalized bunting for each of their rooms, but never seem to have the time to sit at my sewing machine anymore. I do however have mad skills on the computer from time to time so, I thought why not make printable paper pennants!

My little Holden is turning three next week (sniff sniff) I thought these pennants would be a perfect little happy b-day surprise for his room...



Since I love a good freebie and like to share with my readers, I'm offering you a free printout of these pennants. Download it & save it to your computer, add the font you wish then print onto cardstock (multiple times if you wish) use a hole punch at the corners, add some ribbon and attach to your wall!

This is for your personal use only, if you make some of this pennant bunting from this printout I would love to see it! So don't be afraid to let me know, link back here, or upload a pic to my Flickr Pool!

Enjoy :)

Free Alphabet Poster

I don't have a whole lot of money to decorate my kids room, let alone my whole house, so I've come up with some fun and cheap ideas to make mi casa all fancy like over the years!

I've been drooling over some gorgeous alphabet prints over at Etsy for my son's room.

I especially love petitcollage's Animal Alphabet Silkscreen Poster and pennypeoples's Alphabet Print.

Both of these prints inspired me to come up with my own alphabet collage to adorn my little ones wall...



I printed this out with my regular ink jet printer and slapped a $5 Walmart frame around it, and whoo hoo instant art!

I made this print in 6 different colors, so you can print them out too.



The size of the poster is 8x10 inches, just click the link below to see the original size, then right click to save to your computer and print.

1st round - ch3 (acts as first dc) 9 dc crochet in the ring, join (10 stitches)
