No Sew - Flag Pennant Banner

I *heart* flag pennant banners. So I thought I would try to be crafty for the b-day party coming up & make one or two. Honestly, I am tickled with how they turned out. It really was pretty easy.

Depending on the size of banner & length you need, really your fabric amount is up to you. Just so you know…I needed two -25 foot banners! So I got 1/2 yard each of the colors shown.

After you determine how much fabric you will need. It really is quite simple.

2 types of scissors. Regular & pinking shears
ruler
couple of sheets of copy paper
pins
pencil
clothes line *didn’t realize this would be so hard to find. Finally, at our local hardware store*
glue gun & * lots of glue sticks*

using the entire length of copy paper – draw a triangle with your ruler. cut out the pattern triangle.

then pin & cut. repeat. ~this is where you will want to use your pinking shears. so your fabric wont fray.~

~because I needed so many pennants, the 1/2 yard of fabric I purchased allowed me to get 3 triangles width wise across, for a total of 12 pennant flags per 1/2 yard.

looking at photo below, you can see my 2 white copy paper patterns & a blue gingham pennant in the middle for 3 across

after cutting your pennants, make sure to leave enough empty space on clothesline to hang, knot, or tie up your banner. Then start gluing the top of the pennant to your clothesline, and simply fold over for a nice even seal.

For demonstration I hung this in our breakfast room. I know it looks rather silly there, but just for a practice test run… ya know, before the BIG DAY!

Obviously, I am not an expert. Martha’s blog has much more detailed instructions, if you need to research further. The No Sew idea, was really what I was wanting. For time & sanity sake.
