If you recall, last month I teamed up with an awesome group of bloggers for our first Farmhouse Friends event.
We had so much fun, we decided to make it a monthly event through the summer, and I’m excited to show you the rustic farmhouse pennant banner I made for this month’s event!
A few weeks ago, I shared my newest barn quilt, and I felt it needed a little something to give the display a more finished look.
So I made a rustic pennant banner to hang beneath the two quilts, using the same red, white and blue colors in the quilts.
It’s a very basic, easy project, and if you can cut small straight lines with a saw, you can make your own!
How to Make Your Own Patriotic Farmhouse Wooden Pennant Banner
Celebrate Freedom Patriotic Pinwheels Chalkboard Door Tag Sign
First, trace a triangle shape across a piece of plywood, making as many triangles as you desire for your pennant banner.
You don’t need to sand the pieces – the more rustic, the better!
Apply wood stain on the pennants and let dry.
You could paint the pennants any color, but since I was hanging my pennant banner under the barn quilts, I painted mine red, white and blue.
Use a sander to distress each pennant so that some of the stained wood shows through the paint.
Drill a hole on the top corners of each pennant.
Then just connect them all together with sturdy twine.
Even though all the colors are patriotic looking, I’m perfect happy to leave it on display year-round.
Now let’s see what the rest of our Best of Farmhouse Friends Team has come up with!

Hey Angie,
I love your rustic pennant banner! Definitely a year round decor! Great idea using wood!
Love, Love, Love these! Thank You for sharing!

I love banners and have painted burlap to make some, but the wood just makes so much sense especially if you want to give it some patina with stain and sanding. Brilliant! Definitely need to make myself one. Thanks for the inspiration! ;o)
I love your banner and the way it looks with all the other decor adorable!!!
Such a great idea! You usually see them in fabrics!
LOVE it, Angie! It is perfect with the barn quilts! Great project!
Your barn is the best decorated one around. I love those quilts, your pennant, and the flag under the window. You come up with the best ideas!
Charming and patriotic at the same time. I vote for leaving it up all year !
Oh my goodness Angie, I have never seen wooden banners before. I love them!
I love how you decorated your barn with your creations!
