Easy DIY Pennant Banner for Halloween

Turn your paper scraps into this cute DIY Paper Pennant Halloween Banner!  It’s a great last-minute Halloween craft project!

I was looking for some fun last minute Halloween decorations last night and thought I’d make up this easy Halloween Banner. I’m about to mail a care package off to my college girl and wanted to throw in a little something handmade.

It only took about an hour to make. You could leave it simple or customize it a bit more if you like.

To Create the Paper Banner:

Halloween Pennant Supplies:

• Pebbles Thirty-One Banner Kit Embellishments
• Pebbles Thirty-One 6×12 Chalkboard Label Stickers
• Thirty-One 6×12 Icon Accent Stickers
• Pebbles Thirty-One Eerie 12×12 Halloween Paper
• Cricut Explore or Maker Cutting Machine

Note: For this project, you will need an e-cutter machine. I use a Cricut Maker. To read more about the Cricut Maker – click here

Step One: Cut out your Banner Pieces:

To create the pieces for the banner, I looked through the Cricut Design space until I found a shape that I liked. I then copied the image and flipped it along the edge that I wanted to fold.

I then selected both images and clicked WELD. It made one large piece, ready to cut out.

After you’ve made your image, go ahead and cut out the image from double-sided cardstock.

I ended up cutting out 4 sheets of double-sided print cardstock. That way I had two different prints to choose from for each banner piece.

Tip: You can cut out more than one shape on your cardstock. For variety, I cut out both “flags” and “triangles”

Step Two: Attach to Twine:

To make the banner, just fold the banner piece in half and glue to a piece of twine.

I added larger pennant pieces to mix it up a bit and few stickers.

Easy peasy and you’ve still got time to make one before Halloween!!
