How to Hang Your Pennant on a Wall
Hanging a felt pennant is straightforward, but the material means you'll want to avoid permanent damage. Here are a few methods:
- Use a wooden dowel or clip hanger: Slide a thin wooden dowel or a clip-style banner hanger through the top edge of the pennant (if it has a sleeve) or clip it along the top. This distributes weight evenly and prevents the felt from stretching.
- Attach with pushpins or thumbtacks: For a temporary display, use pushpins through the top corners and along the bottom edge. Place pins through the felt near the edge to minimize visible holes. Felt is forgiving and small holes often close up if you remove the pins later.
- Use removable adhesive strips: Command strips or similar removable adhesives can work on smooth walls. Test a small corner first to ensure the adhesive doesn't pull fibers from the felt. Apply the strip to the back of the pennant, not the front.
Framing Your Pennant for a Polished Look
If you want a more permanent, dust-free display, consider framing your pennant. A standard 12"x30" frame (or a custom frame) will hold the pennant flat and protect it from sunlight and dust. Use a mat or foam core behind the pennant to keep it from shifting. Since the pennant is felt, avoid using tape directly on the back – instead, use a few small, acid-free mounting corners or museum putty to hold it in place without adhesive.
Caring for Your Felt Pennant
Felt can attract dust and may flatten over time. To keep your pennant looking crisp, gently brush it with a soft lint roller or a clean, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid direct sunlight for long periods, as it can fade the colors. If the pennant gets wrinkled, you can lightly steam it from a distance (don't press an iron directly on felt) or place it under heavy books for a few days. The catalog does not confirm machine washing or dry cleaning, so spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the safest approach.
Display Ideas Beyond the Wall
A felt pennant can also be draped over a shelf, pinned to a bulletin board, or hung from a coat rack for a casual look. In a game room or man cave, group it with other Indians memorabilia like caps, pins, or a shot glass to create a themed corner. Because the pennant is lightweight, you can even use a magnetic strip on a metal surface if the back has a hidden magnet-friendly attachment (not confirmed by the catalog).
