Burlap Pennant Banners for Year Round Cuteness

8/31/2017

I really enjoy looking at homes when I'm driving to wherever I'm going. I like to look at the exterior styles, love when I can catch a glimpse of the inside (not in a creepy way, I promise), and am always looking at outdoor decor. There are just so many ideas out there to draw inspiration from!

I'm a big fan of porches. I recently drove by a home that had colorful pennant banners hanging from the ceiling of their large, wraparound porch. It looked so adorable, I couldn't get it out of my head...

We're tight with our budget right now, so I wanted to find a cheap option to execute this idea ASAP. Without any luck finding pre-made banners at discount stores, I decided to make my own with two items I already had at home: twine and burlap.
​
​Here are all the supplies you'll need:
  • Twine
  • Burlap
  • Scissors
  • All-Purpose Glue
I started by cutting my first pennant that would act as the pattern for the rest. From there, things moved fast!

I knew I had two, eight foot strands of twine to fill with pennants, so I cut quite a few to start and then started laying them out along the twine I had measured out.

Once I had all of the pennants cut, I started weaving the twine through the top of the pennants:

After I had all of the pennants on the twine, I put a dot of all-purpose glue where the twine and burlap intersected.

When the glue was applied to every pennant,  I hung the banners up to dry:

And here's the final product on our front porch:

 I think these turned out so cute and because they are plain burlap, they will definitely look good with my Fall decor, but will also look good during other seasons throughout the year! They would also work well indoors.
