Pennant Banner Valentine

Want to tell someone you're glad they're on your team? Make these sporty pennant banners to share the love this Valentine's Day!

I forgot how wonderfully inexpensive felt was--each flag only costs roughly $2! Cutting out the words by hand is time consuming--but hey, it's a labor of love!

Initially I was going to stitch these letters onto the banner with a zig-zag stitch to achieve that classic embroidered look--but apparently I had lost my mind. Managing these tiny letters and sharp turns was virtually impossible without a computerized machine, so I cut my losses and opted for fabric glue instead. I think it's still just as cute, and without the fuss!

What You'll Need 

Large sheet of rigid felt 

Complimentary color of soft felt 

Fabric Glue
Hot glue gun and glue sticks 

Fabric scissors 

Fabric chalk

Straight edge or ruler

Skinny wood dowels

Print-out word template

1. Cut out the paper templates and trace the words onto the soft felt with fabric chalk. Cut out the words with a pair of sharp fabric scissors.

2. Trace a long triangle onto the rigid felt with a straight edge and fabric chalk. Cut out along the lines with sharp fabric scissors.

3. Position the felt words onto the banner and glue in place with small dots of fabric glue.

4. Fold over the flag edge encasing a skinny wood dowel and hot-glue the flap down to complete your flag.

Style your pretty pennant banner in a bouquet of Valentine's day flowers or prop up on a co-worker's desk to brighten their day!
