• Step 1

  Make yourself a template out of cardstock (mine is 5" by 8" by 8"). Cut 6 triangles out of the jeans, 6 out of the Red Ticking and 6 from the Navy Ticking.

• 

  Step 2

  Sew your triangles into pennants. I made a 1/2 border around the two long sides.

• 

  Step 3

  When you get to the edge of the pennant, to make a angle, leave your needle in, lift the foot, and pivot the fabric.

• 

  Step 4

  Download your graphics from Piddix and print on the T-Shirt Transfer paper (follow package instructions). I cut the individual images out before transferring them to canvas.

• 

  Step 5

  This is when I figured out my images were backwards and than meant the writing was too! I'm sure there's a way to remedy this but I decided to dig into my embellishments stash. You could also just print the images onto cardstock and sew or adhere them to your pennants.

  From Piddix on flipping images-- "For reverse printing, many printers have an option under layout for "flip horizontally."

• 

  Step 6

  I chose my four favorite images, cut them out with pinking shears and decided where to put them.

  My pattern was red ticking/denim/navy ticking.

• 

  Step 7

  I embellished the images before sewing so I could see "where to sew" but you could sew the canvas to the pennants first.

• 

  Step 8

  I measured my mantle (ok when I say "measured" I mean I stretched my bias tape out on to figure out how long the project needed to be). Then I pinned and sewed the pennants to the bias tape. I also went over the project with my Fabri-Tac in hand to secure any loose spots.

  That's it! I'm using this to decorate the house for Memorial Day and again for Fourth of July.
