How to Design a Pennant

The prize for winning a championship in baseball is the pennant--indeed, the concept of "winning the pennant" has become ingrained in American culture. Shaped like a very tall isosceles triangle, a pennant is twisted 270 degrees so that it is displayed with the base of the triangle on the left and the tip of the triangle on the right. A pennant can be displayed like a flag or can be mounted on a wall; the material it is made from will determine the best way to display it.

• 1

  Purchase a sheet of felt in the background color you want. Purchase smaller pieces of felt that feature the colors you want for the decorating items.

• 2

  Draw the shape of the pennant. According to Sproutonline, draw lines from each corner to the center of the opposite side with a felt pen, using a ruler or yard stick to keep a straight line to trace against.

• 3

  Cut the pennant from the large piece of felt with your scissors.

• 4

  Trace the lettering and logos with the felt pen on the other-colored pieces of felt, then cut them out.

• 5

  Glue the lettering and logos on top of the large pennant. Place heavy objects on top of the lettering and logos to make sure the glue sticks as it dries.
