Directions:

• Cut the scrapbook paper slightly larger than the wood banner pieces.
• Place the scrapbook paper design side up in the Xyron Creative Station®*. 

• Turn the handle of the Creative Station to run the paper through.  As it runs through, it adds complete adhesive covering on the underneath side of the paper.

• Adhere the paper onto the front of the Wood Banner.
• Place the Wood Banner onto the Cutting Mat* and cut the excess paper using a Craft Knife*.
• Use a Sanding Block* to smooth any rough edges.

• I cut the letters “MERRY” using the Fresh Mix Font from the Silhouette Store and a Silhouette Cameo Electronic Die Cutting Machine*.

• Lay the Transfer paper over the vinyl and gently rub with a vinyl scraper tool.

• Place the Vinyl Transfer Tape* and vinyl onto the banner.
• Rub over Vinyl Transfer Tape* and gently remove from the vinyl.

• Paint the wood beads with red and green acrylic paint.
• String the banner and wood beads onto ribbon or twine.

I wanted to keep the banner pieces simple. 

But you could add Holiday Flowers and embellishments to make it special.
