what you need to do

- 1st step, Glitter Chipboard Letters

Working one at a time, apply craft glue to the front side of chipboard letters with a one-inch artist's brush. Immediately spoon glitter onto wet glue, allowing excess glitter to fall into a bowl. Glitter all three letters, then set aside till glue has fully dried.

- 2nd step, Make Banner

Create the three panels that make up the banner following dimensions. Using a ruler, mark dimensions on the back side of scrapbook paper, then cut out the panels with scissors. Use a ribbon spool as a template to mark the paper, then cut out three circles in coordinating scrapbook paper.

- 3rd step, Make Tissue Pinwheels

Cut three pieces of tissue paper into four-inch squares. Fold the pieces accordion style, pressing each fold to create a crease. Twist at center and fan out to make a circle

- 4th step, Attach Pinwheel

Apply craft glue to the center of each panel. Immediately press pinwheel into glue. Apply a dime-size amount of glue onto center of the pinwheel and press the coordinating paper circle into glue.

- 5th step, Glue Letters

Apply craft glue to the back side of a glittered chipboard letter. Press letter into the paper circle's center.

- 6th step, Add Embellishments

Have fun and allow kids to attach scrapbook embellishments that remind them of Mom to each panel using glue or decorative brads.

- last step, Thread Panels Onto Ribbon

Punch holes in top corners of each panel using a single hole punch. Cut the ribbon to approximately one yard in length. Thread panels onto ribbon in the proper order and pull until spaced evenly. Hang completed banner on a banister, front door, over a mirror or simply on a wall to greet Mom on her special day.
