How adorable. That is just a great idea and I'll HAVE to keep that in mind for my grandkids.
Very nice work. I am thinking about what to do for my son's birthday banner. Maybe an applique shape with velcro and the number for each year.
You have come up with a great idea with all of this. Great work.
It's lovely, would be a shame if it could be used only once, so the idea to replace the 3 is great. Are you doing a loose patch? That way it can be used next year as well without too much trouble.
I will just make a patch for the 4 this year. I made Tweety for the 1st, puppy dogs for the 2nd, ponies for the 3rd, and I was supposed to do something with tree houses for this year until I bought the design and it had 27 color changes! (I'm having the party in a tree house this year.) Although I'm only inviting 8 children this year, I'm picking a different project for the favors and reusing the banner since most children are new preschool friends and didn't attend the last party and there will be pony rides again!
