Thankful Sign and Paper Feather Banner

November 4, 2015 By: Melanie

It is officially the Holiday season – yay!   Thanksgiving is up next! A holiday that is all about celebrating everything we have and focusing on being truly thankful — LOVE it!  Being grateful is oh so important and something I really try to emphasize year round with my girls.  Man I love this time of year when we get to re-focus on having an attitude of gratitude. 🙂  I also love decorating for this time of year!  Today we’re sharing this darling Thankful sign and paper feather banner.

  DIY Thankful sign with a simple paper feather banner.

While decorating for the holidays is fun, sometimes storing the decorations can be a challenge, so we made this sign using the backside of this Trick or Treat sign.  Double duty!  Yes!  We used gold vinyl and the Silhouette to cut the word ‘Thankful.’  Click over to THIS post for the sign tutorial.   Trick or Treat Halloween sign using scrap wood, address stickers and a little ribbon

Now let’s talk about the feather banner.  We cut these feathers on colored card stock using the Silhouette and a Silhouette design file.  They are about 4 1/2 inches long.  We went with some less traditional Fall colors for the feathers, and we sure love how it turned out!  Navy blue, mint green, light coral, and white just became my new favorite colors for Fall. 🙂Paper feathers cut with the Silhouette.

To get the tips of the feathers gold, we put a board across them, How to paint gold tips on paper feathers

and used gold spray paint.  Man we love this gold spray paint!  (Check out THIS post.)An easy way to paint gold tips on paper feathers

Once the paint was dry, we gently folded each feather lengthwise for a little more dimension.Gold tipped paper feathers for a beautiful Thanksgiving banner

To string the feathers together, we ran them through the sewing machine.  Did you know you could do that?!  We sewed paper for THIS banner too.  It works really well!Sewn paper feather banner

Last,  we just taped the string to back of the sign to hold up the banner.

    This is absolutely adorable! I am visiting from the Creative Exchange party, and I couldn’t resist clicking over when I saw this. You have inspired me to make some feathers of my own and use them in maybe a different way, but I love the way these are gold tipped and the color palette is great too. Now I have to see what else you have on this blog that I might like! Nice to “meet” you!
