Pennant banners are among my favorite elements in party decor. But that doesn’t mean that they should only be used exclusively for parties. There’s nothing wrong with using it to welcome a season. After enduring extremely cold temperatures this winter season, I’ve been dying to say h-e-l-l-o to SPRING. Well, I put those sentiments into a banner I created for the latest Spring Craft Blog Hop Challenge (read about it here).
In this tutorial, I’d love to walk you through the simple steps into making your very own pennant banner. No fancy cutting machines needed! (Psst: That’s because I don’t own said fancy machine.)
Supplies Needed
* Cardstock paper (spring themed)
* Black letters
* Twine
* Tape or glue dots
Tools Needed: Ruler, Pencil, Scissors and Hole Puncher.
1. Using a ruler, measure and draw shape of pennant. Width: 3.5 inches Height: 4.5 inches
Note: For the bottom upside-down “V” cut, I placed a dot in the middle (approximately 1.5 inches from bottom)
2. Trace and cut. You will need to make 11 of these to spell out “H-E-L-L-O S-P-R-I-N-G”
3. Grab your letters. I purchased this American Crafts set from Target. If you can’t find these, you can use letter stickers as an alternative.
4. Glue letter onto sheet. Punch 2 holes near corners.
5. Thread twine into punched holes and hang. Yay – All done! 🙂
Remember my last post (link here) where I shared how I decorated for my 7 year-old’s spring-themed birthday party? Well, I’m so glad I can keep the majority of the decorations up a little longer since this spring banner goes perfectly!
