After stumbling on these adorable mini pennants from Three Potato Four, I was stoked about the possibility to give my plants a boost of personality. But as with all our other DIY projects—wood bead candle holder, Michelle’s reclaimed pallet cow, etc—I knew I could easily make these myself. Follow along for this super simple DIY that anyone—even kids—can do in less than an hour. Call that an accomplished afternoon.
Supplies
- Stiffened felt– for the the flag background
- Soft felt– for the contrasting edge
- Self stick felt letters
- 12″ kebab skewers
- Hot glue gun
Step 1
Trace and cutout the pennant pattern from your stiffened felt. You can download our pattern here.
Step 2
Trace and cut out the contrasting edge from your soft felt.
Step 3
Wrap the contrasting felt evenly around the edge and glue in place. For the back, make sure to glue only along the edge to leave a “pocket” for the skewer.
Step 4
Once glued, trim your contrasting felt to match the edges of the pennant.
Step 5
Add your letters! With one pack of letters, see how many phrases you can come up with.
Step 6
Slide the kabob skewer into the pocket you’ve glued.
What do you guys think? This was such a simple and cheap DIY to occupy a rainy afternoon. Plus I honestly love the pennant that lives in my house plant. I could also see making these in different team’s colors for a fun Super Bowl party or rowdy game night.
Make one of these yourself and let us know how it goes!
