By Gentry Blackburn, Frosty Darling
Supplies
- 22" of blue felt (from a roll)
- sheet of yellow felt
- sheet of red felt
- red embroidery floss
- pins
- dowel
Instructions
Out of the blue felt, cut out a long triangle 10" tall and 22" long.
Cut the yellow felt into letters descending in size.
Pin the letters in place and stitch them on to the blue felt with the red embroidery floss.
Cut a 2.25" x 10" strip out of the red felt. Fold in half and sew the long edges onto the end of the banner leaving enough space to insert the dowel.
Sew up the top of the red strip to keep the dowel in place.
Show your Utah pride! Use any color combination you like and adjust the size if you want. You can also use a sewing machine or fabric glue to attach the letters and dowel sleeve.

Craft Lake City is an outdoor alternative arts festival that will showcase over 80 vendors specializing in handmade goods such as: silk screened posters, progressive crafts, DIY designs, reconstructed clothing, knitted items, jewelry, letter-pressed books and more. It will be held for the first time on Saturday, August 8, 2009 from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Gallivan Center in downtown Salt Lake City. The event is free and open to the public.
