Paper Bag Banner

I used to craft cute stuff for my classroom during the summer and then spend a week (or 2) before school started organizing my classroom. I always taught the little kids and they just need so many tangible learning tools. Of course I HAD to make them all cute! LOL I miss that part a little.

I had an idea for a cute little banner for school. It is a brown paper bag banner. I cut a notch from the bottom of the bag to make a dovetail banner shape. Then I took a page from a top bound spiral notebook. I cleaned the edges because I hate the little hanging tabs then turned it upside down.

The next layer is just yellow cardstock that I edged with a scalloped Fiskars punch.
The patterned paper is something I got AGES ago for a classroom project. I figured it was time to use it up. LOL

I used some letters and school cut files to embellish.

Finally, I topped each bag with a paper doily and added a cute little paper bow.
I thought this would be really cute for one of my teacher friends to hang in her classroom.
