pennants for an auto dealership lot

I imagine some paper diamonds folded over A piece of thread or string would suffice and colored to your liking

Just Google pennants, pick out what your like, reduce to proper size  and print.  Glue like colors back to back and glue to thread.

.

You can also Google "cake decorating pennants".  Even if the colors aren't to your liking just use colored Sharpies.

I got these at Michael's.  You could trim them down a little for on the lot.  Azgary

Paint aluminum foil with paint markers. Let the paint dry.  Cut the foil into elongated diamonds.  Use a ball point pen to crease a center line.  Use a craft glue stick (Like UHU) to apply adhesive to the back.  Then fold them over a utility wire. 

I did this is not so much to make a more realistic scene (it isn’t, as this would no doubt violate local electrical codes!) but to prevent visitors from fouling the utility wires if they decide to touch a car:

Here is some I made out of construction paper cut with pinking shears glued to a string...

You can try but stopping old guys from touching stuff is nearly impossible and worse than kids! 

Nice lot too!!

Don't you just love it.  There has been 6 responses to the original post without  even a  "thank you" from the original poster.

I do appreciate the suggestions Nick., John, Mark, and Gary.  The 2 day delayed response was not due to any disrespect or lack of appreciatio - there were a lot of things on my plate before getting back to this thread.

Thank you' to the original poster. A handy tip indeed.

This one of the better auto lots I've seen. I would love to see some additional shots.  I particularly like the elevated lot.  This is very realistic and a brilliant model' The billboard sign is perfect'. ..Excellent work'..

Very nice. Or you could have electrified the utility wires. 

The ONE limitation of ALL the suggestions so far is that the pennants will all be stiff, non-flexible.

If you make them from the colored portion of plastic wrappers (plastic bread bags and such) they will be flexible. You could hide a small fan in the background on low speed and they would flap in the breeze. Cut a diamond shape and double them over your "wire" and glue ONLY at their base with the exception being  just a tiny dab near the point to keep the pointed ends together.

Guessing it might be easier to apply the glue to the spot on the "wire" where the pennant is to be.

There a solid and transparent very thin, yet stiff plastic sheets at the office supply that might give a slightly better appearance than craft paper, shiny, and would “flap” in the wind as noted in the post prior.

Ed, do you have a photograph of the Ford dealership.  I would love to see what it looks like.

Thanks'..
