Hi everyone–I’m Steph and my blog is Crafting in the Rain. I’m pretty excited to be here taking a spot on Jen’s blog for the day. I love the month of November! It means Thanksgiving, and my birthday, and fall, and getting ready for Christmas. I really like starting Christmas projects now so that they’re ready to display and enjoy for all of December. So today we’re making this pretty Lace Merry Banner for Christmas!
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Lace (I found a cheap lace tablecloth at the thrift store and have used it for several projects)
- Chipboard circles
- White letter stickers or white vinyl to cut your own
- Twine
- Gold glitter
- Liquid glue
- Hot glue
Measure the circumference (edge) of your cardboard circles. Mine were 11 inches around. Multiply that by 3 and cut 5 strips of lace that are 2.5 inches wide and your length (so about 30 for mine.)
If you want to glitter the edges of the circles, spread a bit of liquid glue and roll in glitter. Let dry.
Glue lace to the back edge of each chipboard circle, pinching to ruffle as you go. Be careful of the hot glue! Attach to twine with more hot glue.
Finally add letters. Some good 5-letter words for Christmas are Merry, Peace, Jolly or Cheer. Or of course add more circles and spell any word you want!

Thanks Steph! What a cute idea for a holiday banner. I love the lace. It’s perfect!
Steph has amazing ideas on her blog, Crafting in the Rain. Here are a few I think you’ll love:
Her Pixie Dust Ornament is super cute. I can see a lot of kids wanting to help make this one!
She also has an awesome round up of 20 Cone Christmas Trees you could check out!
And her Winter Treat Boxes are so pretty! They would be so fun to use for giving treats for the holidays!

I am curious to find out what blog system you’re using?
I’m experiencing some small security issues with my latest site and I would like to
find something more secure. Do you have any solutions?
Since our device provides gems solely, you should use these gems to purchase gold and elixir.
I know this web page offers quality dependent posts and extra material,
is there any other web site which offers these kinds of things in quality?
What a GREAT and adorable craft! I could see getting the kids in on this, too – helping with gluing and whatnot. I love this!
Thanks Dee! I should definitely let my kids do their own version, even if they just want to add their own stickers!
I pretty much love all things lace! This would be perfect in winter wonderland themed decor.
You’re so right! Love it 🙂
What a great idea to incorporate lace and chipboard! I’m really enjoying the Merry banner!
Thanks Lindsay!
This is so pretty! I think I need to find more ways to use lace in my holiday decorating this year!
Thanks Heidi! You can add it to so many things.
I’m not normally a lace person, but I love this!
Sometimes it just works, huh. Thanks!
