Earth Day: Penant Card

I saw the idea for making these cards at how about orange, and I had to it out b/c it enabled me to use a lot of the small scraps in my scrapbooking supplies.  I can't stand throwing away paper....so....earth friendly,  and fun. 

The one thing I didn't have was aqua/baby blue twine, but I've seen this tutorial other places, and so instead of purchasing some....I made my own using a sharpie, twine, and a pencil. 

 I taped it at both ends, and just wrapped it around the pencil. 

 Colored blue lines, unwrapped it and wrapped it the other direction so I could get the backside. 

 Ta da....diy baker's twine in any color. 

 I printed out Happy Birthday on card stock.

 I zig zagged my twine, and tapped it to the backside. 

 Cut out penants from my scrap papers.  Then I glued them down/around the twine.

 

I glued the cardstock onto blank cards I bought, and rounded out the corners.
