I know by now you have already notice I love to put banners up to celebrate the holidays. For Lughnasadh we are making Cornhusk Chain Banner. Traditionally you would use corn husk to make the banner, but we are using construction paper. This is easier for kids to work and will not crack over time. Many other cultures use corn husks for all sorts of different things. South America they use left over corn husks to make tamales. They use a variety of different ingredient and wrap them in the husks and allow them to steam. Tamales are full of flavors and you can customize them to your personal preference. The only reason we are not using corn husk is because we want the chain banner to stay up for at least 2 weeks, which would dry it out cracking it and breaking apart. This is a very simple banner decoration style that we will be using. When we decorate we let our creative juices flow and really allows you to show your inner sole. Decorating your home whether it be for a holiday or just for style. Banners, wreaths, candles, these are all ways we can bring the holidays into our home. Gather off white, cream colored construction paper. Cut them three inches thick. Create a circle with the paper then glue the end for the first ring. For everyone after that you will be forming it around the first ring. You can adjust the length of the chain banner to where you decide to place it.

As a mom of three boys who go to public school I started to notice that some things were not being taught in detail so I decided to create lessons for them. Many of these lessons cover science, history and of information about Paganism. I share crafts for the all different holidays and cultures as ways that they can learn and have fun at the same time.
