At Crafty Kids, we made these super cute personal banners. Once again this was a craft of necessity, so all the materials were things I had on hand. Though I made my own example (The one with the cardinal; I love birds!), I gave them free range on themes and decorating. I told them to choose images that they felt represented them. The one to the left was designed and made by one of my regular crafters who is in first grade. I thought she did a great job!
Supplies Needed:
Assorted colors of felt and foam
Glitter Glue
Felt Glue, Foam Glue or other tacky glue
Packaging Tape
Chenille stems
Beads (optional)
Assorted embellishments (pom poms, foam shapes, sequins, etc.)
Rolls from the inside of thermal receipt paper (we have tons of these, but you could just fold the felt over a chenille stem and tape it down)
Cut a rectangle of felt as wide as the receipt paper roll and tape it to the roll with packaging tape. Thread pipe cleaner through the hole in the receipt paper roll decorate with beads and twist the ends together to make a hanger. Alternately cut the felt to whatever size you want it to be and fold it over the pipe cleaner as described above. Lay out supplies and let kids decorate.
