Summer is in full swing and I am loving the slow pace of things. NOT!!! It actually seems like summer has been more hectic than the school year. I think with the school year there is more schedules and predictability. We are, however, loving trips to the beach and warmer days! I wanted to create something that had that simple summer feel, so I came up with my Summertime Starfish Banner.
I so love me some upholstery webbing and decided that it would be fabulous for this project. I cut the black striped upholstery webbing into 5 pennant banner shapes and strung them up with some twine.
I thought about using real starfish, but I found these fake ones at Michael’s that were cheaper and less fragile. I glued the starfish to the webbing pieces with some handy dandy hot glue.
I love the crisp white starfish against the burlap webbing. My Summertime Starfish Banner honestly feels like the beach to me.
Linking up to these great link parties!!!

Super cute! Love the summery feel; it reminds me of when we would take the kids to the Oregon coast.
What an adorable banner! I found you on the CSI link up party. Pinning 🙂

What a great idea! I love starfish! There are so many ways to use them and I never would have thought of this.
