1. Start out by gathering your supplies.

2. To create party favors, use scissors or an electronic die cutting machine to trim 20 long banner pieces (each measuring about 1" x 4 1/2") from specialty papers.

3. Use liquid adhesive to wrap each banner piece around top of straw.

4. To create the banner, trim a piece of sequin ribbon to length, the same width as your burlap pennant pieces. Use liquid adhesive to adhere to top of each pennant piece. Affix "X" and "O" letters to each of your pennant pieces.

5. Use scissors or an electronic die cutting machine to cut out a large heart from Specialty Gold Foil Cardstock.

6. Create banner by pinning "XOXO" burlap banner pieces and large heart to jute twine (included with burlap banner kit) with large clothespins. Tuck party favors into muslin bags and place in a tin to add a festive look to your decor and for easy access for parties.
