How-To

DIY Father's Day Felt Pennants

Step 1
Use chalk to draw a triangle onto a piece of felt – these ones are 6” wide at the base and 9” long – and cut out.

Step 2
For the edge detail, cut out strips in contrasting felt. One strip should be ½” wide and long enough to cover the triangle base, and the other two strips should be ¼” wide and 4” long. Fold the thin strips in half and glue in place as shown. Then glue the wider strip on top. Repeat for all triangles.

Step 3
Use string to write a message (“We love Dad!”) onto the triangle, using glue to keep in place. This method can be a bit trickier for younger kids, so try capital letters instead of cursive, or use paint and a brush instead.
