Materials:
For each banner you will need:
A 6" by 12" rectangle of felt

Lay an eighteen-inch long piece of yarn along one of the 6-inch edges of the rectangle, placing it 1/2-inch from the cut edge of the felt.
Run a line of glue along the edge of the felt and fold it back to cover the yarn. Press in place and let dry.
With the scissors, cut off the bottom corners of banner to create a point shape.
Now it? time to decorate it! Using your colored felt scraps, cut out shapes of holiday objects such as holly or a snowman, or cut letters to spell out holiday greetings or your family? name.
