Tie Dye is so fun. So when I Love to Create sent me an amazing Tie Dye package, I knew I wanted to make something to spruce up the #1905Cottage for the Fourth of July. And there’s something so festive about pennants. Tie dye Red White and Blue Pennants!

So my cute daughter Hannah and I made a little patriotic tie dye project. And I think it looks so cute on the front porch of the cottage!

Here’s how we made this easy Red White and Blue project!

I made a simple template for the pennants using cardstock paper. And traced the outline onto plain cotton fabric. Then I cut out the shapes.

We made 12 pennants.

I divided the pennants into two batches.

Then we rolled each batch up and put two rubber bands around the top and bottom of the rolled pennants.

Then Hannah took red tie dye and put it on the top of one batch and the bottom of the other.

And blue tie dye and put it on the bottom of one batch and the top of the other.

Then we let them dry for about 6 hours.

After the dye was dry, we unrolled the pennants and then sewed the pennants onto big ric rack, alternating the two different designs.

Then we hung it up at the cottage. So cute!!

Such a simple project that makes such a festive impact!!

And guess what??

I had a terrible sinus infection last week, and got all hyped up on Sudafed. On Friday night at eleven-o-clock I thought it would be an awesome idea to rip my pantry apart and paint it. So that’s what I did.

Following the instructions on the Wonder Under, I adhered the traced letters to a scrap piece of brown fabric I had on hand. I highly advise ironing the letters on in blocks. If you cut each one out BEFORE you iron it on to the fabric, you’ll have a difficult time cutting the fabric around it and waste a lot of time.

You can see here that the flags are right-side down and lined up with the edge of the ribbon. Don’t forget to back stitch at the start and finish to lock your threads, and to use Fray Check on the ends of your ribbon so they won’t ravel away over time.

And that’s it!
You’ll notice a few extra letters since this is the Spanish alphabet. I was so relieved when my husband reminded me about that. And I minored in Spanish! How embarrassing would that have been?!

This truly was an easy project to whip out over the weekend. Solid cotton fabrics and grosgrain ribbon made it a cheap one as well. My total for the entire project was around $5.

As I sewed, I prayed for the Nicaraguan children who would be looking at this alphabet almost every day. It’s just a few strips of fabric, a few hours of work, a measly few bucks invested. But I hope that this one small contribution will impact their lives. That it will speak to the teachers who receive it, that they will feel appreciated, loved and prayed for.

From one child of God to another.
