I thought some of you might like to see the banners that my kids had done for their First Communion.

This banner was designed and created 5 years ago by my second-born daughter, Rebekah. She LOVED to paint so she used acrylic paint on a green sheet of stiff felt.

Since she was only 8 years old, I used masking/painter’s tape along the edges of the items so if she accidentally went out of the area she was painting it would still be straight. The tape was a lifesaver on this project! (Note: the lighter colors needed a least 3 coats of paint)

Rebekah made the rays around the cross and Host using a glitter glue stick. She added red glitter to the drops of blood and blue glitter to the drops of water She also added a sequin string and gems to the chalice.

We used Sharpie markers along all the edges of everything to make it look a bit neater. We used a dark purple and black sharpie marker to make all the individual grapes, brown for the wheat center, and green to add the leaf veins.
