If you are looking for a DIY method to make a custom football pennant, you are on the right page. Ideally, the whole process will be easier if you use a real pennant as a guide. This will make it more convenient for you to get the measurements. So, let’s get started and go through the practical aspect of the project.
As said earlier, make sure you get a real product for assistance. For instance, you can purchase one yard of felt as well. Next, you can free-hand the number cutting. Ideally, you can cut one number a bit smaller than the previous number for a layered look. Actually, the idea is to ensure the numbers are of the right size for the pennant. If you can get the shape right, you can get the job done in the first stage. Next, stitching should be done.
Also, make sure you sew the top and sides of a tall rectangle to the pennant’s left side, which will make a rod pocket. This rod pocket will be used for the dowel.
The dowel rods are not expensive. You can get each piece for less than a dollar. So, the cost won’t be a problem if you are worried about your budget. It’s better to get a few extra dowel rods in case you make a mistake during the process. You can use the spare dowel rods in this situation.
You can use a tool like a branch trimmer to cut them into two pieces. The one on the extreme right side is for your private use. If you are making it for your daughter, make sure to keep the length short. One benefit of shorter dowels is that your daughter can keep better control over it.
You need to make sure the dowel is secured in the pocket, which is necessary to prevent the dowel from flying towards the stands of visitors the first time it’s waved. Make sure you mark the ending points of the rod pocket. You can use a sharpie marker or finger hold.
Your next step is to get a piece of duct tape (it should be 6″ inches long). Once you have it, you should cut it in half. This will give you two small pieces. Beginning a bit above the marked point, you should wrap the tape around. Next, you should add the other piece over it.
Here it’s important to note that the outer strips tend to work as a stopper. Therefore, the strip that faces out won’t slide down or up. On the other hand, the inner strip offers just the right amount of grip to the rod pocket. This way you won’t lose your pennant. Moreover, the grip shouldn’t be so strong that removing the dowel becomes impossible at the end of the season. After all, you need to use the same pennant next year as well.
So, this is the entire DIY procedure to make your own soccer pennant. The making will be easier if you follow the guidelines given in this article.
