Today’s decorating post is truly close to my heart and soul. I hope you will enjoy the Worthy Is The Lamb Easter Craft.
My laptop took its last breath over the weekend. Every bloggers worst nightmare. I apologize that I was unable to edit these photos. I am working on Mr. Decor’s work computer which is very basic. I hope to have a new laptop with editing ability by the weekend.
Worthy Is The Lamb Easter Craft
Welcome to the April edition of Ten on the 10th. Each month a group of bloggers creates a project under 10 dollars on the tenth of each month. Our theme for April is “Easter”. Thank you to French Ethereal for organizing! If you are coming over from Chasing Quaintness I offer a big, “Welcome!”
A few weeks ago at Ross I came across this broken lamb in the Easter decor aisle. He was marked down to $8. I loved his sweet face and his brokenness did not detour me from taking him to the register.
Indeed this sweet lamb reminded me of a favorite Psalm.
The lamb wanted to live on the mantel. I first surrounded him with a favorite Easter verse and lovely photograph.
You can find the photograph HERE.
The artwork can be found HERE.
But the mantel needed something more. So I decided to create a banner. I had all the scraps and supplies on hand so it cost nothing to make it. Indeed the base of the banner was re-purposed from the Pop Up Shoppe Decor.
Supply List
To create a similar banner you will need:
- Pennant shaped chipboard
- Scrapbook paper
- Vintage or antique images
- Paper flowers
- Rhinestone and/or plastic accents
- White Glue
- Hot Glue
- Glitter
- Ribbon
Step One
Cover the chipboard with scrapbook paper.
Glue on a small doily if desired.
Step Two
Select a theme and print out the images. I looked for Victorian Easter artwork featuring lambs. They are posted to my Pinterest Easter board if you would like to create something similar. Attach the images and add a bit of fringe, ribbon or lace across the top.
Step Three
Embellish to your hearts delight. I piled on paper flowers, plastic charms, rhinestones, and glittery chipboard letters that spelled out WORTHY.
Step Four
Let the banner dry then hang on the mantle. I use 3M Command Strip Hooks to secure the ribbon.
I hope you enjoyed this craft.

I’ll be back on Saturday.

Your Easter decorations are adorable, love the banner!
Laura I love your little lamb! So sweet. Your banner is amazing! I hope that you get a new computer soon – been there , done that and know that it can be so frustrating. Hugs!
Laura, I love that you saved the little lamb… And He saved us. <3 When I was little I had a stuffed lamb that my mother said I carried everywhere, probably why I still love lambs and sheep so much today. A very cute mantel display and I love the pennant you've created to tie the Easter theme together. I was having fun looking at all the details in each pennant piece ~ beautiful artistry from the original artwork and yours! Love the sheep with the cross!
Happy to be with you on 10 on the 10th. <3
Happy spring,
Barb 🙂
Your mantel is so festive and “happy” – Great save on the lamb!! And your banner is so sweet ~ happy easter!
The banner is beautiful, but I love the story of the broken lamb.
I’m so sorry about your laptop. That’s terrible. Your lamb and banner are adorable. I’m glad you able to rescue the little thing.
Laura, I love your mantel decor centered around that sweet little lamb. I also love that verse and the inspiration for purchasing the lamb and “healing” him to wholeness! Perfect for Easter! Good luck on the new computer! Hugs!
I love this post. We are all like that little broken lamb and I for one am so grateful HE heals us. Love the banner too. Super super cute.Happy Easter!
Your lamb is adorable and. you did a great job rescuing him. I just love the Victorian images on the banner, and the doilies are the perfect touch!
Thank your for including Bible verses in your religious celebration decor
Love your mantel and the banner! Worthy, indeed!
Love the banner! Gives me an idea for GE!
Laura, I love that you “rescued” the lamb and reused him. But your beautiful Easter banner is my favorite. Another reused but embellished project. What a great way to use bits and pieces and make something beautiful for your mantle.
