We recently celebrated Grampsy's 92nd birthday and at first we were unsure of what to get him, because really? what do you get a 92 year old for their birthday?
So we decided we would make him something.
And this is it:
A birthday banner! Now it is spelled out for him!
Hey look a cute distraction!
We started with some scrapbook paper, which in our house is used for loads of things besides scrapbooking!
We cut the paper into our desired shapes. We chose squares and rectangles.
Look another cute distraction!
"Come on Mom, let's get this done!"
We then turned the pieces over and wrote a special birthday message. Merrick helped me to make it extra special.
Once we had the pieces ready, we lined them up in the order we wanted and
took them to the sewing machine to put them all together.
We pulled some of the thread out so we would have something to hang the
banner up with...then we took the starting piece and put it through the
machine. Spacing the pieces evenly, we continued to put them threw, leaving some thread at the end to hang it up on that end.
Yes, Merrick is using the machine!
It's little hard to see in this picture, but I think you get the idea! It was a super simple project and Merrick was able to help with everything! And I am pretty sure Grampsy loved it!
Happy Birthday Grampsy! We love you so much!
