Materials



I used the rotary and mat to cut the top of the banner pieces
3/8 inch from the print and the sides a little less then 1/4 in. from
the print,  you can also use decorative scissors to do this.

Cut your heat and bond into 1/4 in strips.  I used this to
keep the pieces in place on the ribbon while I sewed.  This also
 helped with spacing the pieces  



Use according to the directions to attach the heat and
bond to the top of each piece.

Peel paper from each piece and iron in place. I left 36 in of
ribbon before the first pennant and after the last for hanging.

I measured 1 in from fabric edge to fabric edge

Choose a decorative stitch.



then sew right down the middle of the ribbon

 

thats it!  hang and enjoy. Now get yours and be ready
for Halloween.  Always free shipping!
