Eco-Friendly Birthday Banner

So I wanted to make a re-useable birthday banner that would fit for a boy or a girl.  Here's the result:

I used the Big Shot and the Scallop Square die to cut blocks of felt.

I like this material because of its bright colors, and it's neat because it's made from recycled soda bottles.

 

 Here are some close-ups of some button details.  These are buttons from Stampin' Up! Brights collection.

 

Afterwards my sister found a string of matching paper lanterns (also re-usable for years to come).

 

I'll be making more banners like this for the O'Tis a Festival in November.
