making banners for homecoming and such...

by karen #1965 third grade teacher...so...ever had to make a banner?..have i got the hints for you....at our school, the president of the class always gets stuck with the chore of doing the homecoming banner...my daughter has been president for several years...and my son is president this year...so we had 2 banners....we had one under our garage...and one under bobo and ga's garage (grandparents)...so, my daughter's banner won, and my son's banner got 2nd...not bad...wanna winning banner?...well, here is how you do it.....

get a queen bed sheet...paint it white with just whatever white paint u can find...latex flat works great...go ahead and buy a gallon bucket...the sheet will soak up the paint...then, u need to draw ur design on a piece of paper...and then, you need to run the design off on some overhead projector transparent film...yes, you must get an overhead projector...

take the overhead projector to a home that has a garage door...shut the garage...get some duct tape and tape the sheet to the garage...such fun colors, now...

then, turn on the overhead and shine the image on the sheet...trace the image with a sharpie marker on the sheet...wallaa!...you have a good looking drawing on a sheet...now, get some folks that can paint & paint the joker...outline it really good with black paint...and use some glitter...i am not a fan of glitter, but you really need to use it to make ur banner pop!

here are the banners...

so, our mascot is the hornet...so i shall end with the green hornet...no lyrics to this song...so much for that...don't forget to pause the playlist...

happy monday, november 14, 2011!
