♥ project 1:

piñata banner

♥ inspiration~

inspired by my love for piñata’s, paper, cardstock and celebrations! I had to make a lasting banner that would sustain the fiestas. Each banner is decorated with piñata inspired trim, yet decorated with a vintage twist.

♥ description~

this ornate banner is embellished with old and new findings, embellishments and decorations. Each pendant has been individually decorated with themed, cardstock and metallic paper, to give it a unique paper lace look. Each pendant is made individually in order to make it look unique and beautiful as the pendant displays each letter.  This banner is ooak, hangs  approx. 7ft long.

no, 2 pendants are alike. Each one is unique, with its own lil’ character! The banner is meant to be displayed and adorn!

♥ project 2:
