Beurio Blue Pennant Banner, 12 Felt Flags on an 8.2 ft String

What's in this blue pennant banner kit?

This blue pennant banner is made of 12 polyester felt triangles, each about 5.1 x 6.1 in (13 x 15.5 cm): 4 navy, 4 medium blue and 4 light blue. It comes with an 8.2 ft (2.5 m) string and a plastic threading needle. It isn't pre-strung; you thread the flags yourself, which is what lets you set the spacing.

How long will the banner be?

Laid edge to edge, the 12 flags take up roughly 5 to 6 ft of the 8.2 ft string, which leaves tails for tying each end. Slide the triangles apart for a wider, airier swag across a window, or bunch them in the middle for a short banner over a crib, mantel or dessert table. For a long wall, plan on two banners.

How do you thread and hang it?

1. Thread one end of the string through the plastic needle.
2. Thread the triangles onto the string in the color order you want, such as navy, medium, light, repeated four times.
3. Slide the flags along the string to set the spacing.
4. Tie a small loop at each end and hang it from hooks or removable adhesive hooks.

On painted walls, use removable hooks and test them first. Our guide on how to hang party banners without damaging walls covers options for drywall, doors and windows.

Which parties and rooms does it suit?

The three solid blues work for boys' birthdays, baby showers, classrooms, nurseries and playrooms. The palette complements ocean or nautical styling, but there is no printed theme artwork or lettering on the flags. Pair it with blue polka dot balloons for a coordinated party wall. Because felt holds up better than paper, the banner can move into a nursery or playroom after the event.

Who should choose something else?

• Hosts who want a banner ready to hang straight out of the package: this one needs threading.
• Outdoor decorating: it is designed for indoor use.
• Anyone who wants a printed message or a bright multicolor look: the colorful paper flag banner with 24 flags covers 32.8 ft.

Storage and reuse

After the party, slide the flags together, wind the string around a piece of card, and fold the felt flat. A lint roller lifts dust and pet hair from felt before you hang it again. Keep the needle with the kit and out of reach of young children.
