Pennant Banner with Oly-Fun

Categories: Decor, Kid Friendly, Oly*Fun

A few weekends ago I put together a craft retreat in Kansas City called The Craft Escape.  It was a fabulous weekend of creating and relaxing and all who came enjoyed the time away to just craft.  Getting ready for the event I created a few banners to hang throughout the house to decorate.  I’m sharing this simple banner tutorial for you to create your own similar banners using metallic oly-fun.  Everyone loved them and they were quick to make!

Instructions

Step One

Create a template for your banner.  I like to cut out my pattern from heavy card stock.  You could do a longer triangle, a 2 point pennant like I did or just a rectangle. Just use a ruler and draw out the shape that you want and then cut it out.

Cut enough pennant pieces for each letter of the word on your banner. I loved using the Metallic Oly-fun for this project, it was so cute!

Step Two

Next cut your letters out.  I used my Cricut explore to cut out the letters.  Metallic Oly-fun cuts like a dream in cutting machines.  Just make sure that you use a sticky mat and that it is adhered well to the mat before you put it in the machine to be cut.

Step Three

If you cut both the letters and pennant out of the same material you will want a layer in between to contrast so you can see the letters.  I chose a fun fabric that also had a little gold in it.  I cut circles big enough to go behind each letter.  I tacked the circles on to the pennant with my sewing machine at the top and bottom of the circle, just a few stitches to hold it in place.

Step Four

After tacking the circles on I used liquid fusion to glue the letters onto the fabric. Just a few drops on the back of each letter does the trick!

To make them into a banner I just hot glued the pennants onto thick twine to be strung across the mantel at the craft retreat house!
