Today I posted steps one through seven of my Halloween banner. I'll post further steps tomorrow! Happy Great Pumpkin Day!

Today I'm finally getting around to posting a bit about my Halloween memories Banner.
Let's jump right into it, shall we?



STEP ONE:

Choose your pictures. For this project they should be Halloween themed. My banner will be visible from both sides-so I will need two pictures for each piece of the banner, one for each side.
STEP TWO:
Print your pictures. I printed them at home on my printer with a sepia setting, on photo paper, but you could get them done somewhere for you. That just takes time-and I'm not very patient!
STEP THREE:
Tear your photos so they will fit a triangular shape. Tear them so more white paper shows in front.
STEP FOUR:
Using a brown or black ink pad, and a small sponge, ink the white edges of your photos.
STEP FIVE:
Pick a color scheme- go gothic or more fun-totally personal preference!
STEP SIX:
Next I made a triangular template from cardboard. Mine is 6" across the top and 8" down each side.
STEP SEVEN:
Now use your template to cut several triangles from your patterned paper or colored cardstock.
