Simple 'Give Thanks' Banner

It's time to the spirit of Thanksgiving by creating an easy and stylish "give thanks" banner. You won't need much time or effort; you can make it uniquely yours. Start with burlap, wood chips, and sticker letters as your banner's foundation. If you can't find pre-cut burlap sheets, you can easily make your own by just buying some burlap fabric from a store and cutting it into 6x5-inch squares.

Next, add the sticker letters to the center of the circles and attach them to the burlap sheets using fabric or E-6000 glue. After allowing it to dry, hang the banner with twine and add extra decorations, such as autumn leaves, with clothespins.
