This Felt Summer Fruit Banner is perfect for crafters of all skill levels—from pro stitchers to absolute beginners. If you need an embroidery refresher, check out our skills course to get you stitching along with ease. Once you're ready to get started, fire up your cutting machine (or your detail scissors), and let's DIY some magic!
We know how precious time is, especially when you're taking care of kiddos. Grandbabies, furbabies, and everything in between! That's why we've designed this project to be simple and straightforward. The easy stitches used to create the appliques are a wonderful way to pass a relaxing afternoon without much fuss.
This sweet banner features three of summer's yummiest fruits: peaches, strawberries, and cherries. We stuck to a soft palette of coral, apricot, and light greens for our Felt Summer Fruit Banner. However, if you wanted a more neutral aesthetic for your finished project — tan, yellow, or a nice crisp white would also be beatiful. Or, let your little one give you a hand by choosing the colors all by themselves.
Whether you create a Felt Summer Fruit Banner as designed or with input from your bestest helper, we'd love to see it! Once you're ready to hang and admire your amazing crafting skills, upload your pics to our crafters' community or share them on social media with #MadeWithLia.
