Can you believe it’s almost the end of February and we are heading into month 3 of 2018?  I feel like time is flying by lately!  With it being near the end of the month it’s time for the monthly Create with Cricut!  Last month’s material was felt and I made some adorable felt headbands for my girls.  This month’s material was cereal boxes.  I love seeing what everyone comes up with using that month’s material!Create With Cricut 2018 - www.refashionablylate.com

I decided to make a sturdy banner for St. Patrick’s Day!  I have some really fun paper I wanted to use but it just wasn’t strong enough to withhold children and storage.  I thought the cereal boxes would be a great backing to the banner.  It’s so solid now and I’m not worried one bit about it breaking or bending in storage!DIY St. Patrick's Day Banner - www.refashionablylate.com

Cutting Cereal Boxes with a Cricut

I started out by finding a shamrock in the images on Design Space.  I made it bigger so that it was the size I was looking for.  I started by cutting out the cereal boxes first.  I put the shiny side up as I had read that it cut better that way.DIY St. Patrick's Day Banner - www.refashionablylate.comDIY St. Patrick's Day Banner - www.refashionablylate.com

I cut 6 different shamrocks out of 3 cereal box flats.  I put the dial on custom settings and chose flat cardboard in the settings.  I also did replace the blade with the deep cut blade to cut the cardboard.  I was amazed at how well it cut and found a new love for cereal boxes.  I’m totally going to use these all the time for projects now!DIY St. Patrick's Day Banner - www.refashionablylate.com

I then changed the settings on my Cricut and put in some fun foil embossed paper I bought on sale at Michaels.  Right when I got my Cricut, Michaels was having a sale for half off of scrapbook paper!  I ended up getting about 5 booklets for about $30!  A total steal!

I took my last side of one of my cereal boxes and cut out a larger version of the shamrock.  I found this fun Kiss Me I’m Lucky svg on Etsy that I wanted to use as the center of my banner.  I purchased it and uploaded it to my Design Space.  It comes with the letters white and on a separate cut.  I enlarged the image and then just did cut 2 as it was only the shamrock.  I cut the shamrock out with the cereal box and then once again with a plain piece of green cardstock.DIY St. Patrick's Day Banner - www.refashionablylate.com

After the two shamrocks were cut I went back to the image and highlighted all the lettering.  I then clicked on the attach button and it made it all one color/cut.  Doing it this way I could cut out the lettering and use the shamrock piece for my banner.DIY St. Patrick's Day Banner - www.refashionablylate.comDIY St. Patrick's Day Banner - www.refashionablylate.com

Assembling the Banner

After everything was cut out I then used a spray adhesive to place the paper on top of the cereal box.  DIY St. Patrick's Day Banner - www.refashionablylate.com

After everything was dry I turned them over and put a strip of hot glue on each and attached twine.  It was now finished and ready to be hung for decoration!DIY St. Patrick's Day Banner - www.refashionablylate.comDIY St. Patrick's Day Banner - www.refashionablylate.comDIY St. Patrick's Day Banner - www.refashionablylate.com DIY St. Patrick's Day Banner - www.refashionablylate.com

mother holding baby in the air and going for a kiss

My name is Ruthie, I was born and raised in the Midwest.  I met the man of my dreams in Nashville, TN and decided to follow him back home to California.  First came love, then came marriage, then came the baby in the baby carriage.  My husband got a new job when my daughter was 2 months old and we packed up and moved halfway across the country to Minnesota, back to my homeland. We now have two beautiful little girls.
