As I was preparing for my son to return to preschool this fall, I knew we wanted to participate in a cute "First day of school" photo op. After some shopping, I couldn't find what I was looking for. The colors weren't quite my taste and I wasn't into sharing all my kid's information–at least not on the front. I've always loved pennant flags so I designed PreK to 6th grade and added the writeable part on the back so that it makes a great keepsake after the pictures are taken. I can't wait to see my son hold up his Oxford blue flags! Don't worry, we have a Dusty Rose version available, too.
Here are the materials you need:
Scissors
Heavy duty glue (I used a hot glue gun)
Thin wooden dowels (This brass bar would be so fun!)
Optional: Your choice of embellishments or ribbons
Optional: A bone folder for easier folding
Here are the ribbons shown in the images:
-Star ribbon
-Pink chiffon ribbon, Blue chiffon ribbon
-More variety on our Amazon storefront
