Easy Flag Banner

I had seen this done before, but tried it for the first time myself for our Father's Day Décor.

The worlds easiest DIY flag banner!
First, go to your closet in which you keep all your mish-mosh material that you have not found a use for.
 I have plenty!

Find the pattern that works best for your particular project...I used an olive green solid and striped pattern that coordinated for Fathers Day to keep things a bit more masculine.

You will need 3 tools, heat bonding (like wonder under)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
and either a 1 inch ribbon or a quilt binding.
The 3 tools are: an iron, sewing machine and pinking shears.

Iron the two materials together, bonding the "un-printed" sides together with the material bonding sheet.

When cooled, cut out triangles of your desired size, as many as you want!

Next, if you are using the 1 inch satin ribbon, fold it in half and place the top of your triangle into the fold. Now sew till you run out of triangles or you reach your desired length! (make sure to leave "tails" on each end of your banner to allow for tying up of the banner)

When you are done with the banner, if you fold each triangle back to front to back to front, you will have a very small bundle that will fit easily into a drawer for storage!
