I'd seen pennants made with fabric and on the computer but I'm going through ink like it's water. So I decided to make my banner out of scrapbook paper. Here's a few pictures of the process.
Here's everything I used. Four different papers that looked good together. It was like planning a quilt. (I do make quilts so maybe I am a little crafty). The jute is what I used to fasten the banner together. I wanted the outdoorsy look. I also used reinforcement hole sticky thingys.
Planned my pattern and contrast of letters.
Used my Cricut to cut out the letters but you could use a die-cut machine or trace them or even print on the computer.
Then I cut my triangles with a rotary cutter. I got two per 12 x12 pages because I wanted them big. My triangles are 8" wide by 12" long. For a short triangle and 3 per page, you can cut them 6" by 9".
Then I punched the holes, glued on the letters and strung the jute.
I have to admit, it turned out better than I thought it would. I can't wait to hang it in my room.
