Simple Thanksgiving Banner With Cricut

Simple Thanksgiving Banner With Cricut

Simple Thanksgiving Banner With Cricut. This year we are so excited to be hosting a Friendsgiving dinner! We’ve never had one, and since I’ve always wanted one, I decided this would be the year I did it!

This review is based strictly on my opinion. Others may have a different opinion or experience with the product listed. I was provided the sample free of charge and paid a small fee by the company or PR agency and I provided my honest opinion.

I want our Friendsgiving to have a cohesive theme that both fits my style and is full of the colors of fall! Thankfully, the Martha Stewart Celebrations Line from Michaels has just what I was looking for. And, as much as I love Martha’s party supplies as they are, you know I had to pull out my gorgeous gold Cricut® Explore Air™ 2 Special Edition, Martha Stewart Machine Bundle and make some pieces even more perfect!

Why do I love my Cricut Martha Machine?

My Cricut Martha Machine is perfect for making personalized, pro quality projects! This sleek gold machine can cut and write over 100 materials, from cardstock to bonded fabric and more! You can use your Cricut Martha Machine to create home decor, party favors and decor, and even t-shirts! Design on the go with the Design Space app and choose from thousands of ready made images, or even design and upload your own! The Cricut Martha Machine comes with 25 exclusive Martha Stewart projects, and a gorgeous gold basic tool set. When you pair the stunning pearl and gold Cricut Martha Machine with Martha Stewart’s Celebrations line, available exclusively at Michaels, you are sure to have an event every one will remember! The celebrations line includes ten themes, from whimsical iridescent to a sophisticated sterling. Each theme features an assortment of party planning essentials, garlands to table runners.

The first project I made for my Friendsgiving dinner was a banner to hang from my mantel. I layered Martha’s copper tassels behind an embellished burlap banner, and hung both from hooks on the mantel.

The theme for our dinner party is Grateful, Thankful, and Blessed. We truly are grateful, thankful, and blessed with the friends we have, so it felt like the perfect theme.

I wanted everything to coordinate, so I used one font for the entire party, Cricut’s Babette. I also used Cricut Design Space leaves that were similar to the leaves on the Martha Stewart Celebrations party ware.

For this project, you will need:

Cricut® Explore Air™ 2 Special Edition, Martha Stewart Machine Bundle

Design Space Access

Cricut Everyday Iron On {white}

Cricut Martha Stewart EasyPress 2

EasyPress Pad

Iron On Protective Sheet

Martha Stewart Celebrations Burlap Banner

Open this cut file and send it to cut on your Cricut machine. {Don’t forget to place the Iron On on the mat shiny side down and mirror your cut}

Weed the excess Iron On and cut each letter and the leaves out so they are separate.

Place one piece of the banner on the EasyPress Mat and pre-heat according to Cricut’s recommended guidelines. Place one letter or leaf on each piece of the banner and press according to Cricut’s recommended guidelines.
