Musical Welcome Banner

It's the start of a new school year, and teachers everywhere have decluttered, organized, spruced up, and decorated to help their students feel welcome and excited about a new season of learning. I've done a little of all of those things myself, and today I whipped out out a musical welcome banner for the front door. It took me all of an hour to make this from start to finish because I've got a handy machine called a Cricut Imagine. I told it what shapes to cut and what patterns to print on the paper. If you don't have a fancy machine like an Imagine, you can still make something like this by hand. You would just need to buy preprinted paper and perhaps cut out less elaborate shapes than sixteenth notes for the letters. I'm pleased with the way this turned out and hope it stays put when the door starts opening and closing every 30 minutes!
