    13 DIY Canvas Banner and Pennant Tutorials

    Updated: May 24, 2019 by Melissa Mortenson · This post may contain affiliate links · This blog generates income via ads · 1 Comment

    I feel like I’ve been on a Canvas Banner making kick the last few months (most of them I’ve posted here, but a few are being saved tutorials later this month). I just think they are so cute and there are a million ways to customize them.  Recently I’ve spotted many cute and clever DIY Canvas Banner & Pennant tutorials online. Today I thought that I’d share some of the ones that I’ve found with you.

    A few summers ago my family was on a summer road trip through the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida.  We made a pit stop for the day at a cafe that my Mom told me to check out called the “Back in the Day Bakery”.  The food was delicious, just as we had heard, and the decor was just as great as the food. (They have a cookbook, by the way, my Mom loves it and I’ve been meaning to order it for a little while).

    While we were eating lunch, I noticed a cute banner hanging on the wall. I thought it was such a clever craft idea. Theirs said, “Best Pie”.  I immediately thought it would make a cute DIY project and would be fun to customize for different holidays and occasions. Since then I’ve made a few banners and spotted several online. It’s a craft trend that I can definitely get behind!

    Today I’ve rounded up 13 fun and clever DIY Canvas Banner (or Pennant) tutorials for you!  Anyone feel a “crafternoon” coming on?

    I created this Christmas Banner this year with the help of my Cricut Machine (many of these banner use e-cutting machines). I was able to cut out the letters all with the machine. Since the font I used is just a basic block font, you could easily spell out almost any phrase that you like. It’s also a great way to use up some scrap fabric.
