Thanksgiving Thankful Banner - Free Print Out

I wanted a colorful Thanksgiving banner for my mantle, so I went to work and this is what I came up with.

If you love banners check out my entire selection:

I chose retro materials and colors that reflect an Autumn feel.  The letters have a distressed quality to them that adds to that retro feeling.  I love how the banner looks on my mantle, but you could hang it up anywhere.

How to Print The Banner:  

Right click on your mouse.  Save it into your pictures, or copy and paste it into your printing program.  For best results print it on card stock or heavy paper.

After you print out the pictures, cut them out along the edge.  

Punch a hole in the top two corners and string a ribbon through.

How to build a rustic wood ladder

I have noticed that ladders have seem to come back in style.  I was out in my wood pile and noticed a couple of pieces of wood that would make a good ladder.

So I laid them down and then went to my firewood pile for some some old branches to use as rungs on the ladder. 

I looked for pieces that were about the same size.

Then I went to work.  I laid the two long sticks out on a table.  Then I cut all the branches so that they were about the same length.  Once they were all the same length, I measured and marked equal increments down the ladder for the rungs to be nailed and glued.  I placed a line of glue down first.

Then I nailed the rung to the wood. 

 I continued with all the rungs until I was finished.

Now I have a fun ladder for my front door.

We used it to hang a sign on at the wedding.  

Look how cute it looks!

Free Thanksgiving Banner Printable - Give Thanks

I knew someone who was looking to buy a Thanksgiving banner but couldn't find one. 

 I thought that would be a great item for my blog, so I went to work.  Here's what I came up with. 

How to print it:
 If you want to print it out, just click on the picture.  Then right click your mouse and save it into your pictures, or you can copy and paste it into your printing program.  Size it to a full sheet of paper, or any size that you want.  Print it out from your printing program, or have it printed as a picture from you favorite photography shop.

It works best if you print it out on card stock.  I often use a light brown (I bought it at Walmart) so that if it gets turned around the back color is not that noticeable.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope that your banner turns out awesome!

Trick or Treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat - Free Printable for pedicure gift items this Halloween

I needed something fun to give to my friends.  I made this cute sign to attach to a zip-loc bag.  

Some of my friends I gave some nail polish and pedicure items.  Some of my friends don't like to paint their toenails so I gave them some fruit roll-ups.

To use the printout just right click your mouse on the photo and save it into your pictures.  Print it from your printing program.  You can also copy it and use it in your printing program.  Size it to a full page.

I have two sizes.  One is for regular sandwich 

Ziploc bags.  The other is for quart sized Ziploc bags.

Sandwich size:

I found that the sandwich bag size wasn't big enough for all the things that I wanted to put into it, so I made a quart sized printout.

Quart sized:

Directions:

Print it out on cardstock.  Fold over the card stock just above the top black line on trick or treat.  Cut out both layers at the same time, using the front printing as a guide.  

Place the cut printout at the top of the Ziploc bag with the printed side on the front, and the plain side on the back.  Staple along  the bottom of the printout.
