**Here's what you do:**

Cut the burlap sheets into 4" x 6" panels. Cut one long end of them into a notch.

![glue-dots-burlap-fall-banner-pieces-cut.jpg](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer-Blog/2016-2017-Projects/autumn-fall/fall-thanksgiving-banner/glue-dots-burlap-fall-banner-pieces-cut.jpg?width=725&height=480&name=glue-dots-burlap-fall-banner-pieces-cut.jpg)

Punch a hole on the top edges of the panels using the crop-a-dile.

Optional: Add some machine stitching on the inside edges of the panels.  I just did it to secure the burlap in place since burlap tends to fray.

Cut the blocks of words and accents using the cut files and die cut machine.

Adhere the word blocks onto white cardstock using Mini Dots. Trim the excess.

![glue-dots-burlap-fall-banner-adding-die-cut-pieces.jpg](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer-Blog/2016-2017-Projects/autumn-fall/fall-thanksgiving-banner/glue-dots-burlap-fall-banner-adding-die-cut-pieces.jpg?width=725&height=480&name=glue-dots-burlap-fall-banner-adding-die-cut-pieces.jpg)

Add pen stitching on the inside of the oval cut.

Adhere all of the paper accents onto the center of the panels using Glue Squares.

![glue-dots-burlap-fall-banner-piece-assembly-glue-squares.jpg](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer-Blog/2016-2017-Projects/autumn-fall/fall-thanksgiving-banner/glue-dots-burlap-fall-banner-piece-assembly-glue-squares.jpg?width=725&height=480&name=glue-dots-burlap-fall-banner-piece-assembly-glue-squares.jpg)

Decorate each panel even more with leaves and flowers using Mini Dots and Permanent Dots.

![glue-dots-burlap-fall-banner-lay-out.jpg](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer-Blog/2016-2017-Projects/autumn-fall/fall-thanksgiving-banner/glue-dots-burlap-fall-banner-lay-out.jpg?width=725&height=480&name=glue-dots-burlap-fall-banner-lay-out.jpg)

Add the pearls on the panels.

Connect each panel together using some crochet thread. Add a long piece of trim on each end to hang the banner up.

![glue-dots-burlap-fall-banner-assembly-with-twine.jpg](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer-Blog/2016-2017-Projects/autumn-fall/fall-thanksgiving-banner/glue-dots-burlap-fall-banner-assembly-with-twine.jpg?width=725&height=480&name=glue-dots-burlap-fall-banner-assembly-with-twine.jpg)

*Tip: Use [Glue Dots® Flexible Hang Tabs](https://www.amazon.com/Glue-Dots-Flexible-Hang-Tabs/dp/B016CXZ5N0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1503430940&sr=8-1&keywords=flexible+hang+tabs) to hang the banner up temporarily.*

#### [Grace Tolman](https://blog.gluedots.com/inspiration/author/grace-tolman)

I’m a mom to a 10 year old boy and an 8 year old girl. Therefore my life is usually filled with learning, new discovery, bribery and driving to and from all of our activities. I have a loving and very supportive husband of 11 years. When the kids have gone to bed at night, my time is spent crafting while catching up on my favorite shows and movies. I also enjoy reading, window shopping, knitting and perusing blogs for inspirations. Three years ago we moved to Colorado from California and we are enjoying our new environment. I feel very inspired with my new home, my new scrapbook space and the mountain views. Although I’ve been doing some type of scrapbooking since grade school, I only started to scrapbook seriously after my son was born. When he was born I knew I would be staying at home with him but coming from a fast paced sales job I was afraid I would ran out of things to do during the day. Little did I know that with newborns you won’t have any time to do anything else. Anyways, after going through a basic scrapbooking class I was hooked and haven’t stopped scrapping since.
