DIY Pennant Flags for Dad

It’s almost time to celebrate the ‘Rad Dads’ in our lives! The grill masters, the dad-joke deliverers, and the dependable shoulders to cry on. These festive pennant flags are perfect to dress up a Father’s Day gift or to use as decorative cake toppers. Follow along to learn how to make these fun pennant flags using the timeless cardstock shades in the Materica Cardstock collection.

Start by cutting all the pennant pieces from the provided project file and gather the remaining supplies. All the images used in this project are available within Cricut Design Space.

Beginning with the Materica Terra Rosa “Dad” pennant, glue the two pennant pieces together using liquid glue and a tape runner, followed by the Clay accent. Next, glue the “Dad” Clay and Lessebo White letters to the pennant. The first flag has crossed the finish line!

The next flag is the “Rad Dad” pennant. Start by gluing the Materica Cobalt pennant pieces together and the Lessebo White rectangle accent piece. Then, attach the white letters to the Cobalt base piece using liquid glue. Once the letters are attached, glue the entire image to the front of the pennant.

The final flag is probably the favorite, just because the tiny images are so fun! Begin by attaching the Materica Kraft and Terra Rosa pennant pieces together with a tape runner and liquid glue. Then carefully glue the tiny hammer, mustache, barbecue grill, and bicycle images to the pennant. These images could easily be customized to represent the recipient’s favorite things.

Once all the pennants are glued together, attach the wooden skewers to the back of each flag with a line of hot glue.

With that, these festive Father’s Day pennants are complete! Add them to your special Father’s Day gifts or place them on top of his favorite cake. You could even resize the file and make smaller ones for cupcake toppers!
