This is a cute and easy way to personalize a shower. This one is being used tonight for Aiden’s baby shower. Its a great keepsake and would be adorable hanging above his crib afterward.
All you need is burlap (enough for each letter of the name/word), a giant sharpie and some yarn. I started with precut burlap, but it would be just as easy to cut out shapes from a roll of burlap from a fabric store. 
With the sharpie, draw a letter on each piece. Since its a baby shower, I decided to go with all lower case letters.
Next, cut slits at the top of the burlap. You need to cut at least two, but could cut more if you want the yarn to weave through a few times.
String the yarn through the slits.
Voila! You are done!
Ooh, love this! Very nice.
Totally adorable, creative, fun, inspiring…
Long story short: I kinda hate you. Because you’re so darn creative, and I could NEVER make something this adorable!
But you’re forgiven.
Oh, this is precious! And so easy and creative! Plus, I love giant Sharpies, so this is an excuse to go out and buy some new ones.
WOW!!! These are FANTASTIC!!! I can’t wait for an occasion to do one of these! SO. SO. SO. Cute!!!

tan lindo y moderno te te felisito
love it so easy and adorable!!
aaah this is so cute, and actually so simple as well
love this <3
This is really cute! I love the natural look of burlap. When you mentioned yarn, I first thought you were going to stitch the letters onto the burlap. I wonder how well that would work too? I might just have to try that.
What a lovely idea!
Awesome tutorial – this banner would be so great for a wedding!
How cute is that?! Terrific idea!
Very cute. I am always on the lookout for easy craft projects for my preschoolers, and this would be perfect for them! Letter recognition, some fine-motor development, and a built-in way for my older kids to help the littles put it all together. Love it!
(I know the preschool set wasn’t your intended audience, but so many projects for the wee ones are far too cutesy). Great project!
This is a really simple and yet amazingly cute idea! I will have to pass this on to several friends who are planning baby showers.
Thanks!

I might have to be completely selfish and make this just for myself.
I love this!
What a cute project!! And it looks so easy and simple to make.
Thanks for sharing! I’ll have to try this one out some time.
Super creative. When I was in London, they had tons of banners that they called bunting. I bought a few while I was traveling, but would love to make my own!
Hummm… this would make a nice holiday banner, maybe swap the yarn out for ribbon or twine… thanks for the idea!
What a lovely idea!
Lovely! Great project idea
oooh, this is amazing!
uponatlas.
very cute idea!
Turned out awesome! Thanks for the idea!
Very cute and fast project! You could embellish the burlap with other colors of fabric, coordinate with the nursery!
Thats cool, I might have to try that for room decoration. o.o
I am so going to use this!
Simple. Stylish.Fabulous.
This is a great idea! I love it’s simplicity and one-of-a-kind flare.
So cute!! I love making banners for any get together!!!
Love this idea! Awesome blog!
Awwwh, adorable. That is such a cute idea.
I love the simplicity of it.
So cool
Wonderful idea, Thank you, And congratulations on being FR, with my love, nia
Very creative. And it would also be a great gift bag idea for smaller items. The bags with letters of the baby’s name on it with small gifts inside! I’d love to receive that for my shower!
Very clever!
How cute!!
Wow this could be an economically creative way of teachers posting the alphabet letter and numbers…or even word groups!
Really nice work….

where do you get the precut burlap?
Hi Alice,
The precut burlap we used is actually a burlap bag we had purchased for another project. We found them on uline.com. Thanks for stopping by!
