They were delicate, so though I could have attached them to a ribbon, I didn't want them to be hanging from anything that would take away from them. Instead, I attached about a dozen of them together with jump-rings,
and strung them right up!
(Kindly refrain from judgement on my unfinished and daily-changing mantle. Someday soon I will like what I put up there. I'm sure of it.)
What's perfect is the banner can stay through Thanksgiving!

Simple and cheap yet oh so beautiful--love it!
ReplyDeleteso cute and I love dollar store stuff! :) I think your mantel is cute and love the halloween wordle!!
ReplyDeleteMy dollar store is a total bust compared to your dollar store. This is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI have these exact doilies (and the leaf ones too). I love that you used jump rings - so cute!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea - this turned out super cute!

I love this. Was it difficult to do the jump rings? I am afraid I would tear the doilies. Any tips?
ReplyDeleteAHH!! I LOVE those pumpkins! The mantle is so beautiful! Such a cute blog!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! Great find! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSo cute, and I like your mantle! The crows are a great touch!
ReplyDeleteAren't these adorable?!? We're going to use the pumpkins and leaves with some ribbon to make ours. Ribbon, as a can thread it and make her very own craft!
ReplyDelete~K
Those doilies are just adorable and your mantle looks just stunning!
ReplyDeleteHow cute those are! I've never seen those before!
ReplyDeleteOh! I really need to know what dollar store you got those from! I need some for our Fall Festival!
ReplyDeleteThese doilies are from the Dollar Tree and it was not difficult at all to do the jump rings! I had zero tears or fuss! If you're worried though, instead of peeling them all apart to get individual doilies, you could leave them stuck together (how they come) in clumps of two or more to make the banner sturdier. :)
ReplyDeleteSUPER cute!!! Another great link up to Thrilling Thursday! :)
ReplyDeletelove this idea...very clever
ReplyDeleteTOO funny! I saw the pumpkins and nabbed the leaves instead. Great minds...I like your version.

Such a great idea! I'm going to have to make a dollar store run this weekend to see if I can find any good fall finds!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute. I also love your clock!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for linking up to Not "Baaad" Sundays with LambAround last week! The Linky is back up and if you stop by, I think you'll be happy with what you find ;)
What a cute and simple idea! Thanks for sharing at Beyond the Picket Fence's Under $100 linky party.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! And I love the cost of this! =] Thanks again for linking up with While He Was Napping!

I LOVE it!
ReplyDelete- Michelle @ Bunch of Craft
I think this is a GREAT idea! I love how it turned out!
ReplyDeleteI think that is fabulous! Beastie Boys interlude, "She's crafty! She gets around! She's crafty, she's always down!"
ReplyDeleteAnyways, I love all the things you have on your mantel. They are all very unique but beautiful ways to decorate for the holidays. Here from Lamb Around.
Cute idea for a banner! I LOVE that clock with the birds...what a creative mantle decoration!
ReplyDeletevery creative...great job!!
ReplyDeleteI used those pumpkins for a sort of banner this weekend and it did not look half as good as yours. Maybe I will get the chance to use what I have left and do over.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lucky find!!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful banner and mantle!! I'm going to Dollar Tree TO-DAY!
ReplyDeletevery fun! What a cheap way to get a delicate garland! Thanks for linking up to Topsy Turvy Tuesday's!
