How to Make a Harvest Banner

This banner only requires a few basic crafting supplies, and it’s the perfect way to use my brand new Harvest Home Template Set! This set contains six shapes: a large pumpkin, a small pumpkin, an apple, and three different leaves, all hand drawn by me to coordinate with my Harvest Home fabric collection. You can find the set as well as each individual template in my online shop.

Crafting Tips

For extra detail, you can hand or machine stitch around the inside edges of each shape.
Looking for an even easier project? Skip the fabric and just cut the shapes out of felt in fall colors.
You can also try making this project using colored cardstock or printed scrapbook paper. Just trace the templates onto the paper, rather than fabric or felt, cut them out, and construct your banner.
