home sectionhome sectionChristmas is a time to spend with your friends and family, but sometimes it is easy to lose sight of the religious side of the holiday. Creating a decorative banner that incorporates a Christian message with a Christmas theme helps remind us of the reason for the season. The banner can be as large or as small as you like, but you should keep it sized appropriately for the location where you will hang it.
You always know the holidays are coming when flashing lights and decorative pieces are everywhere you turn. To add to the festive garb, you can make your own Christmas banners to hang inside or outside your home. Stop by your local craft store to pick up the materials you need, and then have fun with the project.
A Christmas banner is similar to a swag, except that it hangs horizontally across a mantel or on a wall. It is easy to make and, depending on what material you choose, can last for many years. Magnolia leaves are the medium for this banner. When decorated with metalic gold garland and gold balls of various size, the finished craft is fit for a king!
