Personalize Your Dorm Room with No-Sew Felt Pennants
Make your home-away-from-home feel a little more like you with a custom felt pennant! This easy dorm room or sorority room décor project is a fun way to add personality to your space with your name, favorite colors, and a few playful accents. Aleene’s Felt & Foam Tacky Glue makes it simple to secure felt letters onto your pennant, then layer on extra frills like lace trim, ribbon bows, metal studs, or rhinestones for a look that’s cute, cozy, and totally personalized.
Supplies:
- Aleene’s Felt & Foam Tacky Glue
- Large felt pieces (colors of choice)
- Lace strips
- Ribbon to tie into a bow
- Metal studs
- Scissors
- Pencil
Follow these Steps:
1. Gather Supplies & Plan Out Design:
Set up your workspace with felt, a pencil, scissors, Aleene’s Felt & Foam Tacky Glue, and any decorative extras you want to use. Decide how large you want your pennant to be, then lightly sketch or measure the shape onto your felt before cutting it out. Choose colors that match your dorm room, sorority room, or favorite school spirit palette for a custom look.
2. Plan Out Name and Cut Out Letters:
Write or trace the name onto a contrasting piece of felt, making sure the letters are sized to fit nicely across the pennant. Cut each letter out carefully, then arrange them on the pennant before gluing so you can adjust the spacing and placement. This is the perfect time to play around with the design until it feels just right.
3. Adhere Letters to Pennant:
Once you’re happy with the layout, apply Aleene’s Felt & Foam Tacky Glue to the back of each felt letter and press it into place on the pennant. Smooth the letters down gently to help the glue bond evenly, then let them dry flat. The tacky formula helps keep felt pieces secure without making this cute décor project complicated.
4. Finish with Lace Edging, Studs & Ribbon & Hang!
Add lace along the edges for a sweet, finished border, then glue on ribbon, metal studs, rhinestones, or other embellishments to give your pennant extra personality. Tie ribbon into a bow for a pretty accent or use it as a hanger, then allow everything to dry completely before displaying. Hang your finished pennant on a door, wall, desk area, or bed frame to make your space feel more personal while you’re away from home.
