Baby Shower Pennant Banner Tutorial

I'm helping with a dear friend of mine's baby shower and I wanted to make a banner to go with the grey, yellow, blue and white chevron theme. I am a huge fan of pennant banners, as I ...»
think they are so fun and festive and are the perfect addition to any shower, party or holiday celebration.

To make this project easier I purchased a blank pennant banner at Hobby Lobby to use as a template, and let me just say it was a HUGE time saver!! On the downside I couldn't find yellow, blue or grey chevron scrapbook paper anywhere, so I had to make my own chevron pattern by printing a template, tracing it on scrapbook paper and then cutting it out (that took awhile but I didn't have another option) and it worked so it was worth the extra time!!

If you have an event coming up this is a quick & easy tutorial to make your own personalized Pennant Banner.
