i know this trend is nothing new. not even a little bit. but i simply can’t get enough of flags & pennants and their seemingly infinite reinventions. here are a few of my favorites that i’ve spotted around the web lately.
above, is a diy pennant flag stamp tutorial by cathe, at just something i made. so clever! (via how about orange by way of craft zine)

I have a serious addiction to all those garlands…I want to hang them everywhere!!
I do hang them everywhere! Luckily, I’ve converted my husband. Thanks for stopping by, Nicole!
i’ve never gotten tired of this latest craze, there’s something so petite and elegant about flags! and, i love watching things re-invent themselves, brilliant.
Thanks, Bonnie! Same here and luckily I don’t see it going anywhere anytime soon – so many variations.
Here’s another great banner by Junecraft on Etsy. In fact, Tara, I may have first heard about her banners from you. Love her gocco prints, too!
Here’s the banner (love the pom poms):

After Birdie’s birthday – our homemaded pennant decorations were up for a couple of weeks! I had a hard time taking them down ;(
Great post!
Just a couple of weeks? Come on Mari! Lola’s decorations were up for at least a month. Too pretty and summery to take down! Oh, and I’m lazy.
It was my daughter’s 18th recently and I got a bit carried away making garlands of “party ring” biscuits ( do you get them there? multi coloured doughnut shaped cookies) I hung them from the kitchen beams and got some very strange looks from the kids…it looked good though!
Can’t say I know these party biscuits but I’m hard pressed to find a cookie o don’t like. So garlands made from cookies sound wonderful! Thanks for stopping by, Kim.
isn’t that gaga for garlands pool amazing?!
hanging one up always makes the room more bright and cheerful!
Yes! That’s why I have so many hanging in my house, Nicole. Thanks for stopping by!
