instax banner ~ heidi swapp

I am so very excited to share this project with you today…a new collection by Heidi that is available at Michaels. 


A kit with all things Instax in mind. This week you have already seen a couple of the #hsMediaTeam members share a few different projects. Be sure to check out Kim and Maggie's blog to see what kit they are making pretty. 

This is called the Light Banner Kit. It contains all things to create a sweet Instax banner that lights up!

Included are several gorgeously glittered Instax frames.

There are also 6 large pendants, plus the light strand.

An assortment of mini pendants and clips are also included to clip all the pieces up to the light strand.

oh…and less I forget, the kit also includes mini gold tissue tassels too…are you dying already?

And when I put it all together…this is what I came up with. Embellishments from the Michaels Stickers were used to pop a bit of pink amidst all that fabulous gold and glitter.

Let me show you how simple it is to create these framed pendants:

1. Gather a few supplies:

Instax Printer

a glitter frame

Puffy Number Stickers

glitter tape (I used Marquee Love tape)

2. Print an Instax photo.

3. Clip a glitter frame over the photo

4. Slip a mini pendant from the kit, and a notched piece of glitter tape under the clip.

5. Add the ‘perfect’ and star puffy sticker to complete.

Do that again and again until you have all the framed images you desire. 

Embellish these pendants as much or as little as you want. It's just that simple.

I made this banner to celebrate my daughter’s upcoming 12th birthday. Taking photos of her from years past, I printed them out on the Instax Printer. This banner alternates a framed image and then a large pendant. The pendants include Michaels Wood Words.  Each of the framed photos has a  mini pendant from the kit. On the mini pendant I included her age using one of the numbers from the Puffy Numbers Stickers.

Another idea is to layer a mini pendant with a large pendant as I have done with the ‘fun’ tag. 

The last framed photo is made up similar to the first one. Don’t forget to incorporate those mini tassels. Adorable!

When all was complete…I created a little vignette and hung up the banner…oh and lit the lights!!! That is how simple it is to create with the Instax Light Banner Kit. This kit would be beautiful for any birthday or anniversary celebration. A great way to decorate your home or a party. Or even make one up for a gift for someone…they will be blown away by your thoughtfulness that includes this kind of pretty stuff.
