Classroom Pennant / Bunting Display

Turn any heading into a classroom bunting display

Every classroom needs a few standout headings — over the reading corner, above the word wall, around a seasonal display board or strung across the front of the room on the first day back. This classroom pennant display maker turns any phrase you type into ready-to-print bunting: each letter is printed large on its own pennant flag, so you can spell out WELCOME, OUR CLASS RULES, STAR OF THE WEEK or a class motto without designing a thing. Type the words, pick a look, and print.

Each flag prints one bold capital letter sized to fill the pennant, with optional punch-hole markers and a faint string guide across the top so the flags hang straight once threaded onto ribbon or baker's twine.

Choose a pennant shape and your school colours

Pick from four classic pennant shapes — a pointed triangle, a forked swallowtail, a clean rectangle, or a rounded scallop — to suit the display. Set the flag fill to match your school or house colours (or choose outline-only to save ink and have pupils colour the flags themselves), then pick any letter colour with the colour picker. Print several runs in alternating colours to build a layered, multi-row banner above a bulletin board.

Spacer flags keep multi-word headings readable

When a heading has more than one word, the spaces matter. Turn on spacer flags and each space in your text prints as a blank pennant, so READING CORNER hangs with a clear gap between the words instead of running together. Prefer a tighter banner? Switch spacer flags off and the spaces are skipped so the letters sit flush.

How to use it

1. Type your display heading — it is automatically set in capitals, one letter per flag.
2. Choose a pennant shape: triangle, swallowtail, rectangle or scallop.
3. Pick a flag fill colour (or outline-only) and a letter colour.
4. Toggle the string guide, cut outline and spacer flags to taste.
5. Preview the live PDF, then print on A4 or US Letter.
6. Cut along the outline, punch the marked holes and thread ribbon through.

Display ideas for every corner of the room

Pennant bunting works for far more than seasonal walls. Make a WELCOME banner for the classroom door, a READING CORNER or LIBRARY header for the book nook, a WORD WALL strip above vocabulary cards, a STAR OF THE WEEK celebration above the achievement board, or a quiet KEEP CALM reminder by the calm corner. Print the flags with outline-only fill and let children decorate their own letters as a craft, then hang the finished bunting together to take ownership of the room.
