Fall Project — Reversible Candy Corn Bunting!

I love my Ruffled Burlap Pennant, but wanted to make something kind of Fall-ish and festive for this season.

I thought Candy Corn would be fun since it’s the same shape as a pennant and reminds me of Fall.

I bought some cotton material in orange and yellow and then used some left over canvas from my Halloween Pennant Pillows for the fabric.

Supplies:

  • Orange, yellow and white fabric — 4 inches in width by 50 inches in length (or however long you need it to make the number of pennants that you want.
  • Sewing machine
  • An iron
  • 4 lengths of ribbon — 80 inches each (if you want to do two buntings — 130 inches if you want to do one bunting)

Here’s what I did:

  • I decided how big I wanted my pennants. Then I cut out a template. I used cardstock.
  • Cut each length of fabric — 4 inches in width by 50 inches in length.
  • Pinned the fabric together and sewed the lengths together — it looks striped. *** note – sew the three fabrics together BEFORE you cut out the pennants***. I took a picture of this — but it disappeared…
  • Lay the Pennant Template on top of the fabric and cut out 24 pennants. I flipped it over so that I could get as many out of the material as possible – this is what makes it reversible.
  • Then I matched up the pennants. One side is white, yellow, orange and the other side is orange, yellow, white — reversible.
  • I put them inside out and sewed along the edges. Then I popped them right side out again and used a pencil to push the pointy part out at the bottom.
  • Then I ironed them all to make them flat and give them a crisp triangular shape.
  • The next thing I did was hot glued ribbon onto the pennants. I spaced them out 5 inches from the beginning of one pennant to the beginning of the next. 5 inches of space between each. ***note — you can sew the ribbon to the pennants instead of hot gluing it***
  • Then I flipped the whole thing over and hot glued another piece of ribbon to the other side, so each pennant’s top is sandwiched between the two pieces of ribbon.
  • I made two pennants with 6 pennant shapes on each. If you wanted, you can combine all the pennants on one bunting. I just like the look of the reversed pennants together.
Now I’m all excited for Fall weather and a trip to the Pumpkin Patch!!!

Have a Great Night!

    I love this idea and I love your blog! The pennant is so perfect for fall. I hope you don’t mind, I wrote about it in a recent blog post. Thanks for sharing this awesome idea. I can’t wait to make one myself!

    Hi Jen,
    I hope you are having a good day today! My name is Elizabeth Jensen and I am the assistant Holidays Web editor at Better Homes and Gardens. I am contacting you because I was looking through The Nester’s Mantel Linky Party (http://www.thenester.com/2010/09/fall-mantel-party.html) and came across the pictures you posted of your beautiful mantel. I am currently working on creating a fresh slideshow on fall mantels to feature on BHG.com during the 2011 season and would love to include yours. We would include an image of your mantel, a description and tips on how our readers can replicate it, and of course, give designer credit to you.

    If this is something you are interested in I just need you to send me a hi-res version of the full shot of the mantel (300 dpi or better), your phone number, primary email address and mailing address. Then, our editorial assistant will follow-up with a form for you to sign so that we can share your image.

    A few tips I’d like to include with your mantel:
    • What are the most important tips for creating the candy corn garland?
    • Is there anything else/other mantel tips you’d like to share with our readers?

    Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns! I look forward to hearing from you.

    Sewing the three colors of fabric together before you started cutting them out is smart. I wouldn't have thought of that because I have to do things the hard way.
