Chalk Art Seed Packet Banner DIY
Who doesn’t love farmer’s markets with all the colorful fresh fruits & veggies? I’ve combined my love of them with an easy chalk art banner that anyone can make!
Chalk Art Seed Packet Banner Supplies:
Vintage Seeds Transfer (set of 10 transfers on 1 sheet)
There are three different transfers for each seed packet.
I’m only using the number 3 transfer. It’s hard to see, but if you look close, the number is on the bottom right side.
Chalk Art Banner Instructions:
- Wax the banners with a very light coat of wax. I used Easy Peasy Spray Wax. (This isn’t crucial but I wanted to make sure I could remove the chalk paste if I made a mistake.)
- Line up the transfer (with the number 3 at the bottom) along the top of the pennant.
- Place several large drops of chalk paste above the silkscreen on the blue space.
- Working from top to bottom, lightly spread the paste with the squeegee.
- Applying more pressure, remove the excess paste and lines, working from side to side.
- Remove the transfer and let air dry, or speed up the dry time with a blow dryer.
- Wipe off any paste that went over the edge of the transfer.
- String the pennants on twine.
- Clean the transfer in lukewarm water. I like to use the Board Eraser because it removes most of the stains on the transfer left by the paste.
The colors I used were Garden Herb for the peas, Candy Apple for the radishes, Orange Peel for the carrots, and Buttermilk for the sweet onions.
I also made one pennant with just white paste for a true chalk art look.
I think both versions are so pretty!
