The 4th of July is probably my family’s favorite holiday. Everyone comes together at my parent’s house on the lake for a big celebration filled with friends, family, food, swimming, camp fires, and fireworks. The kids so look forward to it every year and I do too. This year we’re making some extra fun 4th of July decorations for our party and this 4th of July Paint Chip Pennant is super easy and festive. This DIY July 4th banner can be hung anywhere!
DIY July 4th Banner Paint Chip Pennant
Supplies:
- paint chip samples in reds, whites, and blues
- red and white baker’s twine
- scissors
- hole punch
- ruler
How to Make A DIY July 4th Banner:
I trimmed one square off of each paint chip to make my triangles a little more even. You don’t have to make the pennant using triangle shapes. You could do rectangles with zigzag bottoms or any shape you like.
I turned each paint sample over and used a ruler to draw a triangle guide for cutting.
After all the triangles were cut I used a hole punch to add holes in each triangle. I added one 2 corners for feeding the baker’s twine through. A hole in each corner keeps the triangle hanging more evenly than one in the center.
Feed the baker’s twine through the holes adding the triangles in order – red, white, then blue. Repeat until your paint chip pennant is long enough for where you plan to use it.
Your DIY July 4th Banner Paint Chip Pennant is finished! It looks cute hanging on the front door or a smaller version would be cute attached to a wreath. There are so many places it would be great to decorate for patriotic parties. You may also enjoy this patriotic windsock craft for kids.
