Remember felt pennants? There was a time when these simple, screen-printed banners could be found on every dorm room wall; there may even be a sports- or travel-themed pennant still hanging with pride in your family rumpus room. (...Rumpus rooms are a thing, right?) Inspired by vintage preppy style, felt pennants are back in a big way, and they're not just for collegiate memorabilia. Whether your taste veers modernretro or simply cheeky, there is a style and sentiment to suit. Pay tribute to your favorite things with these clever buy-or-DIY ideas.
