6-8 3 1/2″ X 4 1/2″ Fabric flags You can purchase them or make your own from the tutorial linked. The flag measurements are approximate, but don’t go too much bigger or smaller so the scale of the shapes isn’t off
1 package Heat n Bond Lite You can purchase it by the yard in small packages, or in these printable sheets.* If you want to make this a no-sew project, use Heat n Bond Ultrahold instead.
4-5 colors Wool or wool blend felt I don’t recommend using acrylic felt as it will not withstand the heat required for fusing the heat and bond
Fabric scraps

Instructions

Step One

Before you start, create your fabric flags for the applique. Find the tutorial on Ameroonie Designs.
My banner has six fabric flags.
Next, you need to create your applique shapes. To do that, trace the shapes from the pattern onto the paper side of the Heat n Bond.
Cut apart the shapes, leaving a small margin around each one. Fuse the ovals onto the backside of the felt (there is usually one side that is fuzzier than the other; that is what I consider the back). After you finish that, cut out the ovals along the line.

Step Two

Next, you are ready to apply your ovals to the fabric flags. Peel the paper backing off the oval and center it on the front of the flag.
Using an iron or an EasyPress, fuse the oval in place. With the felt, I find it helpful to fuse from the back of the flag after fusing from the front, just to ensure it’s secured well.

Step Three

After you’ve applied your ovals, you’re ready to add the shapes on top of the ovals. To do this, fuse the shapes with the backs of selected fabric scraps. Then, cut out each shape along the printed lines.

Finishing

Position each fabric shape on the oval as desired and fuse into place. If desired, stitch around each oval with your sewing machine and the shapes inside.
I like to string the flags on the banner with a long tapestry needle with a dull end and a large eye and string them onto some yarn.
Add tassels, felt poms, or any other embellishments to your banner. *if you don’t have a sizeable dull needle, you can also use a safety pin to thread your string through the flags.
You can find a tutorial for how to make yarn tassels on our site.

These fun banners are quick to make but pack a punch. They are also a fantastic way to use up scraps of fabric you have accumulated. If you make one, I’d love to see it—tag me on Instagram or Facebook @AmeroonieDesigns!
