Are you ready guys?! I've been coveting Abby's pennant banners ALL. year. long, I was so so SO excited to have the time to make them!! I'm linking up with Tara for Monday Made it!

It was SO stinkin' easy to do! If I had known that.. 
 I LOVE how they turned out!!
 {my mantle was the best place I could find to hang them... I can't wait to hang them up in my classroom! I have a perfect place in mind!}

Abby's little tutorial was perfect, go check it out!
I laid the triangles out along the ribbon to see how much I would need (I used a whole 7 yard roll of ribbon). I just free-hand cut one triangle and laid it on top of the fabric to cut the others out semi-uniformly.         
Then I laid out the "stitch witchery" on top of the ribbon, placed the triangles (upside down on top of the stitch witchery) and then ironed! Easy peasy!                        
 While I was at it - I spray painted my toolbox pink (see! you were right about the pink, too!!).
 Have a fabulous Monday, friends!

  1. Great blog! What did you use to spray paint your toolbox? Mine are gray and they need to be spruced up. Thank you!

    1. I used the Krylon fluorescent pink spray paint. {it's 30% off at Hobby Lobby right now!} Mine was grey to start out, too so the pink did a good job of covering it!

    1. I got it from Home Depot - it was like $16.60-something. SO worth it! It was by the tool boxes/ organizational stuff

  10. Wow! I need some of your motivation because I have done absolutely nothing since I got out of school!

    I have a to do list that is a zillion pages long and I can't get motivated to do anything

    Love your crafts and I love the I Spy centers

    Thanks Nicole

  11. I've had pennants on my brain (for a project) all week. I never would have thought fabric...I was thinking paper. This makes a TON of sense. Thanks so much.

    The toolbox looks fab, too :)

  14. I love how there is no sewing involved. My sewing machine is missing some pieces and so this is a perfect fix.

  18. HI sweet friend! You are definitely not missing any TEKS for kindergarten contractions. I made the unit for first and second grade. I am a former second grade teacher and I was asked to share the love of creativity with them, too. :) SO no worries for you on missing a TEK. You are good to go. :)

    1. haha whew! I have seen other bloggers writing about contractions and lots of other things that I KNOW are not in our TEKS! I mena, I teach more than we're supposed to, too, but I was thinking "contractions?! really?!" haha thanks for letting me know lady! I love your packs, by the way! Adorable!

    2. Hugs to you both! I have never had a Firstie come knowing contractions! I would die if I did! You both are awesome Kinder teachers and I wish I could get your kiddos! =)

  19. You are giving me motivation...something I've been lacking for a while now! Love the banner! I want to make one, but I don't have a "good" spot in my classroom. I'm going to have to do some creative thinking about this one...
    I'm so glad I found your blog!

  22. I love the fabric you used! I was contemplating a scrapbook paper banner...but I think fabric might be cheaper in the long run...it won't fade and I won't EVER have to redo it :)

    P.S. Adorable blog! I'm excited to be your newest follower!
