- (3) 12” x 12” pieces Pastel Cotton Fabric

Trace or cut out the pennant pattern on the two layers of fabric.
Step 3
Fold the short straight edge towards the back of the pennant 1/2". Stitch down along the raw edge. This will be what holds the wooden dowel in place.
Step 4
Use one of our simple applique methods to trace and cut out the letters and designs.
Step 5
Press Heat n' Bond to the wrong side of the fabric pieces. Trace pattern to the back of the Heat n' Bond. Cut out fabric pieces.
Remove the paper backing from the Heat n Bond. Press the design to the front of the pennant. This will keep the design in place so you can stitch it down.
Stitch down your design. Feel free to machine stitch or hand stitch your design to then pennant.
Cut out several 12" wooden dowels. One for each of your Easter pennants. Slip dowel into the casing you made in step 3.
