Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ

Need a little therapeutic crafting pick-me-up?

Consider coming to one of the Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ Crafternoons happening this week on the Main and Orange County Campuses and creating your own felt pennant!

Join us on Wednesday, September 22 from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM in the Orange County Campus Lobby or on Thursday, September 23 from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM downstairs in the Main Campus Library for some socially distanced fun.

Paint, felt pennant/banner, scissors, rulers, graph paper template (for those who like to do some planning), and some letters to create your own logo stencil will be provided. 

Crafternoons are co-sponsored by the Library and Student Engagement and are open to all students, faculty, and staff. 

Want some inspiration or your own template to work with? Keep reading! 

• has a blog post that uses felt-on-felt (we're using fabric paint instead of sewing anything), but discusses letter placement and general tips and tricks. 
• uses letter templates to design her pennants. (We'll have some letters available to cut out and use at the event.)
• has some designs for inspiration in their beginner-level project. 
• showcases a vertical layout for their painted pennants created using stencils. 

Want to pre-plan or make your own felt pennant? See below for pdfs of the template that will be available at our Crafternoon events-- it prints on an 11x17 (tabloid) sheet of paper, but can be printed on two standard sheets of paper (8.5x11).
