My daughter saw a Halloween mantle scarf in a catalog and asked if I could make it.
Well, as you can see something was off in my measurements and it could've been a little longer.
But when I'm at her house next time, I'll take a couple of my extra pennants and stick them in!!!
So, I thought I would take some pictures and do a little tutorial for you....
If you can make pennants, you can do this...
Just measure the length of your mantle and the depth and cut two pieces for that base.
Add about an inch on each end and on the long sides for your seam allowances and because you'll be sewing those pennants in.

Then measure how long you want your pennants to be. I think the ones I did were about 16 inches long. If your mantle is 80" long (my daughter's), then you'll need ten 8" wide pennants, with others that fit in the gaps between the front ones. (See first photo).


Clip the end points on the pennants ... and I didn't sew to a point, I sewed the end of the pennant squared off. You are going to be hand sewing a bell on the end anyway. Clip the end and then turn the pennant and use something like a small watercolor brush handle to poke the end out.


Play with how you want to lay them out.
There is/are lots of cute Halloween fabrics out there in the stores!!!!

Then you will sandwich the pennants between both right sides of the base and stitch the base together all around, leaving a good size space for turning. (also I put smaller pennants on each end)

Let me know if you make one.
Obviously you could do this in Christmas colors.
You could also make it reversible (especially for Fall and Halloween)!
The bells sewn on the point is such a great touch!!!!
