Difficulty level: Beginner
Time required: 2 hours
Age range: 8+

Things you’ll need:
Banner
Stencils
Acrylic paint

Things to do:
1. Place a piece of paper (wax paper is good because it won’t stick) behind the pennant. Line up the stencil in the center of the pennant.

2. Using the stencil brush, dab paint on the pennant. Be careful to only use an up and down motion with the brush. Using a rubbing or brushing motion will cause paint to get under the edges of the stencil and smudge your letters.
