My mom does and she taught me but I haven't in years. That will be cute though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-make-or-buy-this-pennant-banner#post-2703052 Sun, 26 Feb 2017 14:06:58 +0000 Alba4 2703052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Funny, I'm literally crocheting one right now for my boys. It's super simple. Do you crochet? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-make-or-buy-this-pennant-banner#post-2703011 Sun, 26 Feb 2017 10:03:09 +0000 808love 2703011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Gorgeous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-make-or-buy-this-pennant-banner#post-2702995 Sun, 26 Feb 2017 08:53:34 +0000 Foodnerd81 2702995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cole: thanks! And thanks for the suggestion of that hem tape- game changer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-make-or-buy-this-pennant-banner#post-2702993 Sun, 26 Feb 2017 08:41:51 +0000 Cole 2702993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: that looks amazing! Nice work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-make-or-buy-this-pennant-banner#post-2702992 Sun, 26 Feb 2017 08:33:57 +0000 Foodnerd81 2702992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the advice on this, ladies. @Cole: I basically did what you suggested and it was pretty easy! Bought the extra wide double fold hem tape, and a bunch of 9x12 felt pieces on sale at joanns. Made a template for the triangles and got 3 triangles per piece of felt. Used a hot glue gun to attach them in the hem tape. They are stuck on the walls with command hooks. I'm really happy with how they came out and for such a big impact, wasn't too expensive. The hem tape was $3 per 3 yards, felt pieces were about 20 cents each. The girls were super excited when we showed them their new playroom this morning!!</p> <p>[attach=2307/17/olzhom.600x450.IMG_0513.JPG]</p> <p>[attach=2307/17/olzhon.600x450.IMG_0512.JPG] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-make-or-buy-this-pennant-banner#post-2681177 Tue, 17 Jan 2017 08:03:03 +0000 Foodnerd81 2681177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ElbieKay: thanks- I have been googling various combinations of bunting, banner, pennant... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-make-or-buy-this-pennant-banner#post-2681175 Tue, 17 Jan 2017 07:58:57 +0000 ElbieKay 2681175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>FYI those types of things are usually called bunting. That might help if you need to google. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-make-or-buy-this-pennant-banner#post-2681083 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 20:54:50 +0000 Foodnerd81 2681083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, I bought a bunch of felt in different colors and wide double fold bias tape and a hot glue gun. Going to try to make it (experimenting with both glue gun and stitch witchery) and I will post the results! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-make-or-buy-this-pennant-banner#post-2681080 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 20:38:51 +0000 maddyz 2681080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll post the one in our kids room tomorrow when they wake up. It's small felt triangles 2" to 3" and I stitched through the tops of them with a needle and yarn, it was super easy and I think it looks nice. It's smaller then most of the other ones, but their room is small so it fits. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-make-or-buy-this-pennant-banner#post-2681059 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 19:35:12 +0000 YogiRunner 2681059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: we got a small banner from Target to decorate for Christmas, and it was super simple- the pieces of fabric had two holes on each top corner where the twine ran through (so the twine went behind the top of each piece). Looked really easy to make at home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-make-or-buy-this-pennant-banner#post-2680796 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 13:25:50 +0000 ladybee 2680796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: yup, no hem. The stitch withers is what I tried first and it didn't work well for me. 😞 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-make-or-buy-this-pennant-banner#post-2680593 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 07:38:30 +0000 looch 2680593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I believe it does, I would try it and see. Use a pressing cloth (do you have any really thin burp rags? that's what I use for my clothes, lol) so that you can get the heat up very high and not have the iron stick to the felt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-make-or-buy-this-pennant-banner#post-2680591 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 07:36:56 +0000 Foodnerd81 2680591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I used that to hem all our curtains, good reminder! It works on felt? I'm thinking the bias tape @Cole: mentioned over single layer felt pennants. I had been planning to get a hot glue gun but I already have a bunch stitch witchery anyway. And seems less messy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-make-or-buy-this-pennant-banner#post-2680589 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 07:20:11 +0000 looch 2680589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have an iron? If so, you can use stitch witchery, which is adhesive that you can use with fabric. I use it to hem linen pants but I have also used it for craft projects where I didn't want to sew.</p> <p>An alternative is also fabric glue. For felt, that would work nicely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-make-or-buy-this-pennant-banner#post-2680513 Sun, 15 Jan 2017 21:13:25 +0000 Foodnerd81 2680513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: so no hem, just the ironed fold turning it back? I still think I would do felt if I do it, but I also bought some fun colorful lanterns that will hang so I'll decide after those are up... which will happen after DH speckled and sands then we paint the whole room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-make-or-buy-this-pennant-banner#post-2680494 Sun, 15 Jan 2017 20:31:00 +0000 ladybee 2680494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: reading that back over, it sounds like way more work then it was. I actually made another one for my classroom so it wasn't so bad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-make-or-buy-this-pennant-banner#post-2680491 Sun, 15 Jan 2017 20:27:46 +0000 ladybee 2680491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought different cotton prints from Joanns. Then I googled how to make a template, measured and cut out of cardboard. I used a sharpie to trace on my fabric choices then cut around it leaving a border. </p> <p>Next, I ironed all my triangles and made the folds on the sharpie line by ironing them down. I put hot glue on the sharpie line and folded the fabric down. Then I hot glued it to the back of ribbon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-make-or-buy-this-pennant-banner#post-2680481 Sun, 15 Jan 2017 19:57:27 +0000 Foodnerd81 2680481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: super cute! What are the pennants made out of? </p> <p>So my target only had smaller pennants, not the triangle type, but I got a pack to try out. I may end up making still but will try these first. I had to search for them so I'm glad I knew to try! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-make-or-buy-this-pennant-banner#post-2680443 Sun, 15 Jan 2017 18:03:49 +0000 ladybee 2680443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Found some on my phone! </p> [attach=2199/17/ojug2e.600x337.IMG_2572.PNG] [attach=2199/17/ojug2g.600x337.IMG_2573.PNG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-make-or-buy-this-pennant-banner#post-2680439 Sun, 15 Jan 2017 17:54:37 +0000 ladybee 2680439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I made something similar for DS1's room. I'll take a pic and attach it when we get home.</p> <p>ETA: I did the whole thing with a hot glue gun </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-make-or-buy-this-pennant-banner#post-2680426 Sun, 15 Jan 2017 17:03:54 +0000 Cole 2680426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you don't find something what I'd do is buy the felt colors for the triangles and then buy bias tape at the fabric store. It is in packages of tons of colors in the notions section. I'll attach a photo do you know what it is. You could even hot glue it if you wanted. </p> [attach=2228/17/ojudai.337x600.Screenshot_20170115-170248.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-make-or-buy-this-pennant-banner#post-2680395 Sun, 15 Jan 2017 14:59:12 +0000 Foodnerd81 2680395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ocean81: oh good- I'm going there today! </p> <p>I feel like the target ones were probably only there for a few weeks then replaced, but I'll take a look! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-make-or-buy-this-pennant-banner#post-2680390 Sun, 15 Jan 2017 14:43:01 +0000 ocean81 2680390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty sure they sell these at Michaels. I bought a burlap one there for my daughters first birthday, but I think they had colorful ones as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-make-or-buy-this-pennant-banner#post-2680385 Sun, 15 Jan 2017 14:03:59 +0000 FaithFertility 2680385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: felt, dollar spot $3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-make-or-buy-this-pennant-banner#post-2680384 Sun, 15 Jan 2017 14:03:39 +0000 FaithFertility 2680384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: yep that's it </p>
