What You’ll Need

Watch the full tutorial below to follow along.
Step 1: Install Your Font in Canva
The first step is installing the Quarantine and Chill font.
In this section of the tutorial, I show you how to:
- Download the font
- Upload it into Canva
- Access it in your Brand Kit
- Get everything ready for your design
Once it’s installed, you’re ready to begin creating your pennant.
Step 2: Add Text to a Pennant Flag
This is where the magic happens.
Instead of typing your entire word into one text box, I show you how to:
- Add one letter at a time
- Position each letter individually
- Resize every letter independently
- Create a perfectly balanced pennant flag
This gives you much more flexibility and allows the text to follow the natural shape of the flag.
Step 3: Make Your Design Pop
Once your lettering is finished, it’s time to polish the design.
In the tutorial, I demonstrate several Canva text effects, including:
- Drop shadows
- Thin outline layers
- Additional styling options
- Simple finishing touches that make the design stand out
These effects help create a more dimensional, professional looking finished product.

Throughout this tutorial, I demonstrate this technique using four of my Canva pennant flag frames.
Once you understand the process, you’ll be able to customize each one with your own names, words, colors, and themes.
It’s an easy way to create unique designs while keeping everything clean and professional.
