Materials:
Fat quarters or scraps
Double fold bias tape
Step 1: Make a little template out of paper. I wanted my pendants to be roughly 6" at the base and 8" long, so I made my template 6.5" at the base and 8.5" through the middle.
Step 2: Now you're going to cut out your triangles. I folded my fat quarter in half so that I could cut out the pairs at the same time.
I used my rotary cutter to quickly cut out all of my pairs of triangles. I wanted 10 total pendants, so I cut out 20 total triangles.
Step 3: Put the triangle pairs right sides together.
Sew 1/4" from the seam on both long sides leaving the base open. Trim off the tip.
To make turning even easier, you can trim more around the point if you wish.
Step 4: Turn all of the pendants right side out (make sure to poke out the point) and press. Then trim off the little ends that poke out of the open side.Step 5: Now take your double fold bias tape and sew along the side about 1/8" away from the edge for about 18". Then place your first pendant inside the double fold and continue sewing. Continue in the same manner until all of the pendants are sew in. Then keep sewing until you've gone another 18". Trim off any excess.
You're all finished! Hang it up and admire!
I think I might make a few of these for our Cub Scout Blue & Gold Banquet. This year's theme is Circus!
