Pennant Banner

I recently made a pennant banner for a friend's daughter's 3rd birthday party. I had so much fun making this banner and it is something they can use over and over agin for years to come. Here are some quick picture instructions. Enjoy!

 Trace and cut fabric.
 Apply iron-on fabric adhesive and cut out letters. Iron letters on pennant fabric.
Hand stitch around each letter for decoration and added security. 
(I chose gold thread)
Cut backing for each pennant. 
Pin fabric right side facing each other and sew along the sides whereI drew lines. 
Make sure to snip the bottom corners and put a small cut in the middle where the angles meet.
Turn right side out and iron. 
Finally, sew all pennants into bias tape, and add any decorations (like the little pom poms). 

The hardest/ most time consuming part is the and stitches, but you can easily do those while watching TV on the couch with your loved ones, or on your commute to work, so it's not so bad. You can make this banner for anything from birthdays to weddings to bedroom decor.

Our Wedding

The wedding was amazing thanks to all of our family and friends. I thought it would be nice to put up one of our pictures now, with more to come later as well as the DIY instructions for decorations that I promised.

Wedding Shower

Thank you to everyone who made it out to my wedding shower, and for those of you who couldn't make, I wish you could have been there. The cake was beautiful, the company was fun and the gifts were amazing.

My Wedding Invitations

We finally sent out our last invitation today! I enjoyed making these invitations so much that I am ready to take on other people's wedding invitations. I first decided to make my own invitations because everything I found seemed so impersonal. I enjoyed the idea of making the invitations exactly what we wanted. And I enjoy the idea of helping other couples do the same.




The invitations I create are all handmade using papers, print, and wording that you may choose, or that we can work together to choose. This ensures that the invitations are as personal as you want them to be. I understand the importance of having control over everything on your special day, my goal is to make the perfect invitation for you and your spouse to be to send to all of your closest friends and family.


The invitations come 50 to an order and include include envelopes (with 10 extra for mistakes), matching RSVP cards, and RSVP envelopes (also with 10 extra).
$58/order plus $14 s&h inside United States
