Bubble tea felt banner tutorial

 

One of the things we love about Benzie's wool blend felt selection is the vibrant colors! This tutorial is a celebration of color and fun and favorite things! We are delighted to have Maker Team members Andrea and Paola of @dapperanimals show us how to make this festive felt banner. It's guaranteed to brighten up any space and quite possibly make you thirsty.

We are Andrea and Paola, the creative sister duo from Dapper Animals, and we LOVE drinking bubble tea! That’s why we chose Bubble Tea as the theme for Andrea’s birthday party this year. One of our favorite decorative elements of the party was this bubble tea felt banner. The banner is very easy to make and it adds an extra bit of whimsy. If you also love bubble tea, this tutorial is for you!
