My 1st Baby Shower Banner - Phase 1

I've been really nervous about building my first baby shower banner for the shower that Meredith and I are hosting at the end of the month. I haven't even attended many showers - let alone made things for them. Thank goodness Mere is a Black-Belt party hostess.

The theme of the shower is Lilly Pulitzer Desert Tort theme, because we are Delta Zetas - Pink & Green. We've got all the desert Tort Stuff - Napkins, cups, plates, gift wrap and I got Desert Tort items to give the Baby Mama we are honoring. I got the watch, we even had the invitations.


Most people do circle baby shower banners or little triangle-shaped flags. It seems like most people want something they can print. I told Matt these general statistics and I said "It doesn't seem like many people just do the big cut-out letters." And craft advisor that he is, said "Well, I think you know the answer then."

These letters are 8" tall.


Tomorrow or Wed. I'll embellish them with flowers and/or many other things that I've collected for this and lastly, string them onto some ribbon for hanging. Tonight they're being pressed so the spray-mount really mounts. Yep- I'm pressing these in a Gore Vidal book. I hope someone appreciates this. My gay play-brother will.


I used Watercolor Paper instead of card-stock b/c it's more rigid and I have a BFA. Just kidding. I picked it b/c I know it's thick and it was on sale.
