How to Make a Layered Burlap Banner
Day 9 of my Cricut Christmas Crafting is another banner. So far I’ve made a felt banner, a banner with HTV, a banner with fabric. Today we are going to combine some of those together to make a layered burlap banner.
Layered Burlap Banner with Fabric and Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV)
Why not add both fabric and HTV to your banner? I love adding layers – it gives the banner more dimension.
I love the layers in this one. Can you tell I really like buffalo plaid?
- I applied the HTV to the fabric first
- Then I applied the heat and bond to the fabric
- Then I pressed the fabric with the HTV already on it to the burlap

This is a repeat of the directions on how to hang your layered burlap banner – this way you won’t have to click back to another post.

- Sew a tunnel for the ribbon
For my burlap banners, I simply folded over the top and glued it down with the jute twine inside. I used my glue gun to do this.
If you are going to add decorative items that need to be fed through – be sure to do that as you glue the banner pieces in as they don’t move or slide.
Here you will see that I added jingle bells in between each banner letter. Once they’re in there, they’re there for good.
See all the great possibilities that can be done with a burlap banner with fabric? Not only are these great for the holidays, but other occasions as well.
