There is always something to celebrate, and I can’t keep up with coming up with and creating new decor for each and every event. That’s when my Happy Everything Fabric Pennant Banner comes in super handy! I made it a couple years ago as a way to use up a bunch of colorful fabric from my stash, and I have used it over and over and over again throughout the years.
Because it’s made from every color of fabric, it works to celebrate all kinds of things: holidays, baby showers, Saturdays, and birthdays! Today I want to share the fabric pennant banner diy as part of A Rainbow for Katy, put together by Skirt Fixation. We’re celebrating cute and colorful Katy Dill on her birthday today! Happy Birthday Katy! Making the fabric pennant banner is simple, and there are ways to make it even more easy by making it with raw edges, or using hem tape to make it no-sew. I have made banners in all different ways, and this double sided, sewn version has held up the best and is used the most often. It’s a little more work, but so worth it when you can pull it out again and again.
You’ll need:
A pile of fabric, about 10×10 pieces, unless you want to make it smaller
bias tape
Cut your fabric into triangles the shape you’d like your banner. Using two at a time, put right sides together and sew along the long edges. Trim the point, being care full not to cut your stitches. Turn right side out and press with an iron. Tuck each inside the bias tape and pin on the edges and in the center. Space the triangles out at least 6″ and up to 10″. Stitch one line along the edge of the bias tape, securing all of the triangles into the banner! It doesn’t get much easier than that! You’ll be ready to celebrate anything and everything with your colorful fabric pennant banner!
