This banner was super easy and it is no sew!
You gotta love no sew!
I saw all those fabric pennant type banners that were floating around Pinterest last fall.
I decided to make one from my stash of drop cloth material.
Here is what you need.
Fabric, glue gun, twine, scissors, paint, brush and stencils.
I bought a set of Alphabet stencils at Walmart for about $4.00 and I have gotten my money's worth out of these.
Blue Hawk is my favorite brand of drop cloth, 8 oz. weight not 10oz. They are $5.96. I will buy 3 or 4 at a time, wash them up and have them ready for projects or tablecloths.
I used the sewn edge of the drop cloth as the top of my banner because I was feeling too lazy to get out the sewing machine.

I decided that I wanted a fall banner so I cut 4 triangles near the edge of the drop cloth.
You may want to use a piece of paper as a pattern to get the triangle the size you want it. I had a do-over with my first attempt. The triangles
were too wide at the top and too far apart.
I didn't cut it all the way to the sewn edge of the banner. I left an inch or two for a little more strength.
The first triangle became the template for my second, so they would all be the same size.

I stenciled the letters and let it dry.
Dab the paint in the stencil in an up and down motion, using a semi dry brush. If the brush is too wet, paint will leak underneath the stencil and ruin your piece.

I tied a knot at the end of the twine and hot glued it to the banner.
The other poofy garland is just a length of twine with strips of burlap and dropcloth tied to it.
I looped both around some nails in the mantel and added a string of halogen lights.
I made another one that says boo.
Wouldn't this be fun for a child's birthday party?
A custom pennant banner with the name of the birthday child.
Easy, custom and new sewing!!
I will be making more of these.
