Have you ever been to a lavender field before the harvest…
When the long lines of blooms wave gently in the wind… and the delightful scent permeates the air?
Lavender fields encapsulate the essence of Provence and were the inspiration for my latest Handmade Club kit; French Vintage Farmhouse.
I used this kit to create a blooming lavender banner that would be perfect for spring.
Not only are all of the elements included in the kit, but I’ve also made a separate printable PDF file to make the lavender banner.
It’s available to print in both A4 and letter size.
Of course you could assemble the banner any way you like, this is just how I decided to make mine.
I also added a few extra embellishments to my banner, like scraps of lace, ribbon, buttons, flowers and sequins.
My very favourite part of creating this project is relaxing with a coffee, cutting out all the elements and just playing around with it….. there’s no right or wrong way to make it.
I aim to add many layers to each banner pennant and may change a grouping several times before I actually decide to glue it all together.
Some of the pennants are actually sewn together and others are glued with a clear craft or white glue.
For this banner I used a length of cotton string to make it into a long garland, by gluing each banner pennant to the string. I also added in a few pegs for texture.
If you are already a member of the Handmade Club, this printable PDF file is included in the French Vintage Farmhouse kit this month.
Simply download and print it out on light card or as I did, on 250 gram matte photo paper.
If you are not yet a member of the Handmade Club, you can read more information about how to subscribe to the monthly kits HERE.
The January kit, French Vintage Farmhouse
is available from 15th January until the 14th February, 2020.
I hope you found this project inspiring!
Happy crafting my friends!

Hi Kerry-Anne
I have been on your subscription list for years. Unfortunately, due to timing etc. I have forgotten my password to get to the printable. I have fallen in love with your lavender series and wo7ld really like to be able to print. Any ideas?
Hi Larain,
I’ve just checked for you and it appears that you unsubscribed from my newsletter quite some time ago. You may certainly re-subscribe at anytime and a password will be issued to you with the newsletter. Unfortunately, this lavender kit is not a free printable offered to my newsletter subscribers, as it is part of the Handmade Club which is a paid for membership.
Happy crafting,
Kerryanne
I LOVE this banner! I am so very happy that I joined your Handmade Club and it is so worth the money! Thank you for making my home a little more beautiful!
You have no idea how much that makes me smile Sandra. I love knowing that others are thrilled to open their kits each month and take pleasure in making things with the items I’ve created. Thank you sweet friend x
