hi Sugarplum!

{DIY} No-Sew Fabric Pennant Banner

May 24, 2011

It’s hard to believe, but I’m at the very end of the projects for Babygirl’s Room. (You can catch up on them here.) I may actually finish this room! As it was coming together, my mom mentioned that while it was a great room, it didn’t really look like a 5-year-old lived there. So I decided to add some more youthful and whimsical touches. Enter, the Fabric Banner!

I’m no stranger to the banner. In fact I made a burlap one for Valentine’s Day and a paper one for Babygirl’s Pancakes & Pajamas Party. And since I had leftover fabric from her Stepstool and No-Sew Pillows, the project cost me nothing!

There are tutorials all over blogland, but here’s mine.

1. Determine where you’ll hang the banner, and cut a piece of ribbon the proper length. Allow enough extra to tie the ends and dip in the middle. Decide the size of each triangle and create a template.
2. Cut your triangles out of fabric (or paper, burlap, old baby blankets, onesies, etc). Using pinking shears for fun edges would be cute too.
3. Mark the center point of the ribbon (using a doll’s hairbrush is optional), then arrange the triangles in the pattern you want working out from the center. Using a line of fabric glue, affix the ribbon to the top of each triangle.

I tacked this one from the top of Babygirl’s closet frame.

Definitely youthful, and a great way to repeat fabric patterns in the room.

And since I opted to leave her closet doors off, the closet has a few extra touches too.

Pennant Banners aren’t just for kid’s rooms. They are great for weddings, outdoors, parties and holidays. Here are a few of my favorites.

My clever friends Courtney and Megan each recently threw their sons the cutest birthday parties. And of course incorporated great banners!

So cute! Now all I lack in Babygirl’s Room is figuring something out for her ceiling fan/light fixture! Of course I could replace it, but I’m going to try the DIY route first!

    I will be placing my order for one soon. However, I would prefer mine to read "Y'all Can Suck It" –I would string it along side of the house so my neighbors can read it every morning as they drive away. 🙂

    Looks great, Cassie! It totally ties all those fantastic fabric together.

    I love bunting too, I had some up for my sis's baby shower and my mantel seemed so bare once I took it down!

    You're my hero right now. I've been trying to figure out how to make these for my wedding because I don't have access to a sewing machine.
