Summer is here! That means we have warm weather and get to hang outside a lot. It also means time to "party" with family and friends.

We love a good party. We especially love to decorate for a good party. That is how this simple pineapple summer banner came about. We planned a little get together and wanted something simple to add for décor.
It was a quick project and took less than an hour to put together. And it made the mantel a little more tropical.
This easy project is perfect for beginner sewists. In fact, it is made with felt and twine. That means no seam finishes at all. Just cut, assemble and hang it up.
