Birthday Pennant Banner: Free Printable


Precious pennant banners are very popular right now. From tiny ones used to decorate cakes to more traditional sized party banners, they are popping up in lots of party pics. One of the great things about this fun trend (other than how cute they are) is that you can personalize them to your theme and print these yourself. Start with our colorful, free printable pennant garland. Download and print out this triangle flag Birthday banner and use it as a sign, wall decor or even on a wreath (see our curly wreath tutorial-pictured below). 


STEP 1: Download and Print
Click above to download the free printable Happy Birthday garland. You will need a PDF reader to open this file.(Click HERE for a free PDF reader from Adobe) 

Print out all 3 pages of the banners, using your desktop home printer or bring the file to a copy or print center. You can print them using regular copy paper, or stiffer card-stock paper.
STEP 2: Cut-out Pennants
Once you have printed out all three pages, use scissors or an X-acto knife and ruler to cut out each individual flag.


STEP 3: Fold
With each flag cut out from the pages, start folding the top section. Fold it back behind the front of the flag, as shown above. Use the two points on each side as your guidelines.
STEP 4
Place the fold around a long piece of string, and then tape or glue the flap down to secure. Continue attaching all of the flags. We used two different strings, but use one long string if you need to.

Attach the garland across this fun curly deco mesh wreath! Click here for a tutorial on how to make this wreath.

The paper garland was also used in this Birthday party dessert table (click here for a full post). It was strung between two deco mesh party puff topiaries. 
Celebrate the season with this fun printable birthday banner. Enjoy!
