Spring is fast approaching, which means that I’m on a roll with little DIY decor projects to bring just a bit of color into our home.  Since I never shy away from a good upcyle craft project, I decided to use an old book to make a pennant banner.  Pastel cardstock makes this an easy spring craft!

Tutorial: DIY Book Page Pennant Banner

First, cut your cardstock into 8 triangles.  It’s super easy to cut one square of cardstock into 8 perfect pennants.  Just cut the large square into into 4 smaller squares.  Then cut each square in half diagonally.  Trim off an edge from each triangle, and you have a pennant.

I don’t bother with meticulous measurements.  I’m OK if these aren’t all exactly the same size.  Perfection is overrated!

My Banner in Action

I hung my new pennant banner from our DIY chalkboard in the kitchen.  I can proudly report back that after 1 whole week, my 4.5-year-old twins have not attempted to take it down to turn into a kite.  They were, however, a bit sad that I made this craft without them.  Note to self: Next paper banner craft project is going to be a kid-friendly project!
