Step 1: Making the pennants

Laminated_pennants.JPG
1. We drew ours in MS Word* and used the Format Borders and Shading option to fill them in pretty patterns and girly shades.

Alternatively, you could cut triangles from old magazines, giftwrap, posters etc and use a contrasting colour to add the letter of your choice.

2. Laminate

3. Use a paper trimmer to cut out the pennants.

*more detailed MSWord instructions:
Select Basic Shapes from the draw toolbar. Choose triangle. Drag to fill page. Use FreeRotate to turn so that pennant points downward.
Using Format Autoshape option, on the colours and lines tab, use the fill effect option to select the pattern and colour.
Use Insert Text or Insert Wordart options to add the required letters.

I've seen a similar project made with fabric, but yours would be much easier to clean, especially after an outdoor party! Great Instructable!

Brilliant instructable. Having made some myself, I can echo how fantastic these look and how easy they were to make! I've got a few requests from friends now for their children's rooms! Thank you

Thank you! Kids love to see their names in print! Maybe with a little organisation, pre-prepared letters etc, they could be produced production line style at school fundraisers?
