Yesterday I showed you my little entryway makeover.
I wanted to add some fun, fresh happy color using things I already had in the house. I have paper. Lots and lots of paper… So, I made my first pennant banner. I started looking up tutorials, but sort of just did it in the end. Here’s how I did.
1. Cut a piece of lightweight string 61 inches. Fold it in half and knot the two cut ends.
2. Using 3 pieces of coordinating 12 x 12 pieces of scrapbooking paper, cut each piece to measure 8 x 12.
3. Fold each piece, then, so that it will measure 4 x 12.
Cutting at the folded area, cut again at 4 inches. Now you should have pieces that are 4 x 4 when folded.
4. Mark at the unfolded part 2 inches over, and cut to form a triangle.
5. Once all your triangles are cut, arrange them with the string on the inside of the folded triangles. {You will have a few extra triangles.}
6. Tape with double-sided tape.
7. Using your computer printer {or alphabet stamp set, if you have one}, print out the letters you’d like to use. I then punched mine out with a scallop circle punch and taped them to the front.
8. I attached the string to the wall with thumbtacks, and covered them with some knotted ribbon.
That’s it!

very nice… I made some and used brads to connect them together…but I really like this idea too.
