Creating an Easy Etsy Banner

Your Etsy banner sets the tone for the rest of your shop and should be consistent with the rest of your branding and your overall aesthetic. But what if you're Photoshop illiterate such as myself?
Using this forum post from Etsy, I found a way to create an easy banner on PowerPoint. It doesn't get any easier than that! Here are the steps to follow so that you too can create your banner:

1) Go to Page Setup.

2) Set the width at 27 inches, and the length at 3.55 inches, with a landscape orientation.

3) Get your creative juices flowing! One of the easiest ways to ensure your banner keeps the aesthetic of your products in mind is to use actual pictures of your products. Just drag and drop the picture(s) from your local hard drive to the PowerPoint banner and adjust the size. Then, add a background color and play with font colors and styles. Simple as that!

Following the above steps, here are the new banners I came up with:
