Comments:
I saw a banner like this at a craft fair and they embellished each pennant with crochet flowers. It was so cute.
 
That's a great idea. I'm going to make stars and put them on the blue pennants. I'll use the star off this blog.
 
I love this - fab.... xx
 
This is purely brilliant! Can't wait to try it.
