INSTRUCTIONS
NOTES:
Let dry completely between painting steps.
- Use a pencil and ruler to trace a basic triangle shape onto to the muslin or fabric of choice.
- Use pinking shears to cut out each pennant. Make sure it is big enough for each wooden letter to fit inside. If the fabric is thin, cut two layers.
- Use a sewing machine to double up the fabric, connecting two layers for each pennant.
- Use scissors to cut a snowflake of your choice out of freezer paper. (The "busier" the snowflake, the better!)
- Iron the snowflake to the pennant to use as a stencil.
- Use a 3/4" flat brush and Silver to paint all around the snowflake, brushing outward along the edges. Rinse brush. Remove the freezer paper and repeat steps on all four pennants.
- Use a 3/4" flat brush and Turquoise Waters to paint "NOEL" letters. Rinse brush.
- Once the letters are fully dry, use a 3/4" flat brush to brush craft glue on one letter at a time. Immediately sprinkle chunky glitter all over the letter. Repeat on all letters. Rinse brush.
- Once the pennants are dry, sew them together with lace or ribbon of your choice.
- Use a hot glue gun and glue sticks to attach letters to the pennants.
