Winter Veil Eve!!!

Last year I made some Horde Ornaments to hang on our tree and as a little surprise I sent them to some guildmates tucked inside their Christmas cards.  This year I wanted to create something that celebrated my WoW Family.  It's been a great year for The Zug Initiative.  We've gone to Ice Crown Citadel, we've leveled up numerous alts, we've visited one another and celebrated the birth of a brand new Hordeling!  Through time off, pre-expansion blues, 4.0 confusion and the coming and going of members we have persevered despite our small numbers and the guild remains the same: fun and casual (with a delicious layer of sarcasm).  Yay us!


This is a very easy craft you can do for your own guild, luckily our crest is quite easy to replicate so your mileage may vary.

Guild Banner Ornament

You will need:

Felt in the colours of your guild tabard
Glitter glue
1 sheet of plastic transparency or other material for template
Needle and thread
String
1 cinnamon stick
Glue gun!

Make a template of your guild crest.  I used an overhead transparency sheet I found in our back storage room at work.

Fill in with glitter glue! Yay Sparkles!!!!!

Remove template and let the glue dry.

Using a second colour of felt cut out a large rectangle leaving a little boarder on each side and around the bottom.

Tack the two pieces together with a little thread. 

Cut out a design of your choosing like, notched! Select the best looking cinnamon stick from the bunch and cut a length of string about 10 inches.

Time to break out the big guns, the glue gun that is!  Knot the string at each end of the cinnamon stick leaving two inches of overhang.

Dab a little glue on the back and wind the string around to secure.

Secure the cinnamon stick to the felt with some glue and let it dry.

 

Your cinnamon flavoured guild banner is now ready to hang!  

 And some are ready to be mailed!

Happy Winter Veil everyone!
