DIY: Oversize Boho Drop Cloth Banner

Crafts· DIY

28 Apr

Learn how to make this oversize boho drop cloth banner to make a huge statement with inexpensive materials. No sew option available, too!

We were challenged to thank our front line workers using only materials we had on hand since we’re all in quarantine and can’t shop easily. We rummaged around our stash and found a drop cloth, paint and a boho macrame bunting my teen no longer wanted. With a little paint, hot glue, needle+thread and leftover eucalyptus stems, we had the makings for the perfect giant boho banner!

Do you have an unused drop cloth laying around? We turned a scrap piece into a huge banner, free! Just use paint and a few things on hand to create a large boho banner drop cloth, endless possibilites! #diynosewbanner #dropclothbanner #howtomakedropclothbanner #bohobanner #eucalyptusbanner

BOHO BANNER FROM A DROP CLOTH

It’s been fun to see people inspired by our original boho banner from a drop cloth, we love when they tag us so we can share it in our stories to keep inspiring even more people! (Kindness is what makes the world go round and copying without credit is super lame 😛) We’re ALL craving extra kindness right about now so what better way to show it than thanking our front line heroes by dedicating this project to them? 🤍

DIY sign to thank frontline workers. Show essential workers you can with an easy to make no sew boho banner from a drop cloth! Love this original idea using fringe on a drop cloth for an easy to create thank you banner! #nosewbanner #frontlineworker #essentialworkers #thankyousign #diynosewbanner #dropclothbanner #howtomakedropclothbanner #bohobanner

how to make a boho drop cloth banner

Check out this DIY boho drop cloth banner tutorial to make a big statement with a few supplies you likely have on hand. #bohodecor #dropclothbanner #dropclothtutorial #bohobannerdiy #diydropclothbanner #howtomakeadropclothbanner

Cut drop cloth to 4′ long x 3′ wide.

Fold the cut sides over and glue it for a no-sew option. (Sew it for a more finished look.)

Center stencil in place, paint the lettering black, the inside of the heart pink. Let dry.

Hot glue (or sew) the fringe bunting to the bottom of the banner to give it a dressier boho vibe. ✌

To hang an oversize banner

Screw a drop cloth banner into a piece of wood to securely hang it. Such a fun way to make an oversize banner using a dropcloth! #diynosewbanner #dropclothbanner #howtomakedropclothbanner #bohobanner #eucalyptusbanner

Screw 2 cup hooks to your porch frieze beam, about 2′ apart.

Wrap yarn around wood and connect to cup hooks.

Screw banner directly into wood underneath for durability (keep in mind it’s outdoor so there will be wind!).

Tie on leaves, secure with yarn.

Our banner came with 2 long strings on the end for hanging, we put a nail through each string to hold it tight to the ground (like camping).

Update: we’ve had it up for 3 weeks in our front yard and it hasn’t budged through rain, wind and now triple temps!
