Who this list is for
This project is for a 12-year-old making a small astronomy-themed felt pennant with simple hand stitching. Large plastic yarn needles keep the work focused on felt, floss, and a constellation design.
How to use this list
Use the constellation reference printout to plan the star pattern on the dark blue felt sheet. Cut a pennant shape with fabric scissors, then cut stars or accents from gold and white felt. Attach felt pieces with fabric glue and stitch constellation lines with metallic and white embroidery floss using the large plastic yarn needle. Finish the top edge around the wooden dowel and add the cotton cord hanger.
Common mistakes
Do not make the constellation lines too thick or the reference pattern will disappear. Keep the plastic needle and stitches within the felt, not through a tabletop or loose fabric underneath. Let fabric glue set before lifting the pennant by the dowel.
