Sunflower & Bee Banner

A Sunflower & Bee Banner, made with a variety of svgs

Here's what I used:

These are the same bee and flower svgs I used to make the magnets.

Unfortunately, the bundle, from Canada Crafts, is no longer available. CC is no longer on Creative Fabrica at all, although they do have a store on Design Bundles - this particular bundle is not on there.

However, there's a FREE, similar svg from:

Daily Dose of DIY has a free bee svg that I like a bit better than the bearly art version:

And there's an entire selection of free sunflower svgs here

The banner I used is my favorite banner base - it's from Special Hearts Studio.

Just use the base - skip the flag and star tops for this. I cut 10 of the base, then glued them together in sets, so I have 5 pieces two pieces thick. That's not necessary with heavier cardstock, but I always find my kraft brown cardstock to be a little thinner than a lot of my other 12x12 papers.

The svg in the center is from a bundle I got in the Dollar Deals ages ago. It's 40 bee designs, and I've used a lot of them on wine pouches and garden flags.

Handprint Eagle Craft with Free SVG

A child's handprints make the feathers for this eagle craft - perfect for the 4th of July crafting. :-)

DOWNLOAD THE FREE SVG HERE

There will be two different svgs in this bundle - the "Uncle Sam Hat" is for a separate craft, I'll add the tutorial for that one soon!

For this one, you want the Eagle SVG.

Upload the svg, resize the group to 12.887 wide by 8.77 tall.

Then change the colors of each item. Either ungroup them, or just select one item at a time from the layers menu on the right.

Fold a piece of white copy paper in half, trace your childs handprint. Cut, giving you two handprints. We liked copy paper for this rather than cardstock - it made the "feathers" lighter, and is easier to cut.

We used a glue stick to assemble everything except the googly eye - we always use hot glue to attach our googly eyes. And we hot glued a magnet on the back... I buy packs of magnets at the Dollar Tree, and we attach them to the back of most of my grandsons crafts.
