How to use this list
Trace the pennant shape from the cardstock pennant template onto felt with tailor’s chalk, ruler, and pencil. Cut the main pennant from felt sheets in two colors using fabric scissors. Protect the surface with wax paper sheets, then attach felt letters, iron-on letter patches, pom-pom trim, or other accents with fabric glue. Hold layers in place with binder clips while they set. Finish the top edge around a wooden dowel and use cotton cord for hanging.
Common mistakes
Do not use a wet glue layer so heavy that it soaks through the felt. Check the banner wording and letter placement before attaching patches. Avoid clipping directly onto fresh glue. Keep the dowel and cord arrangement decorative; the pennant should hang lightly, not support weight.
