Classroom Craft: Fabric Pennants

Hello All!! So I have been in a super crafty mood and I have made two special classroom crafts and I can not wait to show them both to you! So... to begin grab you your favorite drink... (mine is Pepsi Max!!) .... haha


Classroom Craft One: Fabric Pennants

Materials:
Iron, Multiple Fabrics, Scissors, Ribbon, Heat'n Bond, One Piece of Paper

Step 1:
Cut 8.5 by 11 piece of paper in half, then fold the half in half... haha.

Take the half that you just folded and cut out an isosceles triangle. (It doesn't have to be perfect, because you want even notice in the end... trust me!)

Step Two:
Iron fabric... yes I know this sounds boring, but it will only take you a second! :)

Step Three:
Do some estimations to figure out how many pennants you should make of each color... I rounded so I had some extra pennants left over!

Step Four:
Take your fresh made pattern and trace out 11 times on each piece of fabric.

Step Five:
After you have cut out all 55 pennants line them up in the order you would like them for your cute little banner! :)

Step Six:
Take ribbon and Heat'n Bond and iron. Suggestion: The widths of my ribbon and Heat'n Bond were exactly the same; if I did this again I would make sure the Heat'n Bond was a tad bit smaller.

Step Seven:
Lay pennants out on your ironing board and iron away... yes this may take a little while!

Step Eight:
Since my ribbon was wide I decided to fold the ribbon over to make sure the pennants would not fall off! This definitely took some extra time but I think it is worth it! :)

Step Nine:


And here is the finished product! It looks much cuter in my classroom, so I will definitely post those pictures soon! :)

Have fun crafting! :)
