Felt banners are so fun to make. DIY banners are an easy way to decorate for a holiday.

You can use any colors that you want. I chose to use a rainbow color scheme because it’s my favorite.

DIY Felt Easter Banner

Supplies Needed:

Cricut Maker (I used my Cricut Maker 3)
Fabric Grip Mat
Rotary Blade
Felt
Embroidery Floss and Needle
Baker’s Twine
Hole Punch

Notes About Supplies

Cricut Maker – As noted above, a Cricut Maker is required to cut felt. However, you can cut it by hand if you don’t have a Cricut Maker.

I’ve included a printable PDF to cut and use as a template.

Fabric Mat – Use a fabric mat when cutting felt.

The mat will get fuzzy, and eventually, it will die. Either buy them in bulk or be willing to risk ruining the mat further by cleaning them with dish soap and a scrub brush. (I revived a dead mat, but I don’t think it will last a lot longer.)

Felt – I used mostly acrylic felt for the project, but you can use wool felt if you want. It’s much nicer to work with.

Embroidery Floss – I love using a blanket stitch and embroidery floss to attach felt projects, but you can also use fabric glue.

The colors don’t have to match perfectly. Find colors that are close enough, and it will be fine.

Baker’s Twine – You can use string, yarn, or any twine for your banner. I love using Baker’s twine because it comes in so many pretty colors and looks vintage.

Hole Punch – The Cricut Maker isn’t great for making the holes in the banner, so use a hole punch instead. You could also use scissors to cut a small slit.

Cutting the Felt for the Banner

Upload the design as usual.
Resize if needed.
Duplicate the design as many times as needed and change the eggs’ color. I duplicated it five more times for a total of 6.
When you’re happy with the design, click Make it.
Apply a piece of felt to the fabric grip mat. Smooth it to make sure it sticks to the mat.
Change the blade to the rotary blade.
Select the material (felt, acrylic fabric.)
Load the mat and click to start.
When the cut is finished, unload the mat and repeat for each color.

Assembling the Banner

Layout the banner, centering each egg in the middle of each flag.
Attach the egg with embroidery floss using a blanket stitch.
Repeat for all colors.
Use a hole punch to add holes to each corner of the flags.
Thread a length of baker’s twine through the flags, making sure that the string goes behind each flag.
Hang and enjoy!
