I did a google search for them, and other than a company that makes a whole bunch of them (I've already forgotten their name, but it's easy to find using the magic of the internet), it doesn't seem that there are any fan-made pony tapestries or banners. Doesn't that seem a little strange? Or am I just looking in the wrong place? Because those tapestries are a big feature of a couple episodes, and it seems like SOMEONE would have made them in real life by now!
I only started to search because I want to make on for myself, maybe there would be a pattern or some fun ideas, but nope, nothing! This might be my next "little project" that I do in between the big projects I keep trying to work on. Until I get time to work on them, though, has anyone else made something?

I don't remember seeing any but that is a fantastic idea!

I would expect there to be some on Etsy, you can find pretty much anything there.

I checked Etsy, and they have some amazing things! There are a million birthday banners, but I didn't find anything like the tapestry in the Castle of the Two Sisters episode, or even a tapestry that had one symbol on it- I'm thinking something like a medieval banner, but (for example) white with Glory's symbol and maybe a purple border. Nothing too complicated. The company Redbubble has a bunch of g4 wall hangings, which are sort of what I'm picturing.
Like I said, it just seemed strange that there isn't anything like that- I assumed I hadn't had an original thought! Go me! Hahahaha! When life has mellowed out a little again, I'm going to tackle it. It seems like a good use for the boxes of fabric I inherited- and it would be fun to hang out in the trees and see them flutter in the breeze!

Hmmm, that is always annoying, having a specific idea in mind and not finding it.
Maybe try other searches on Etsy for the style of item you're looking for, then seeing if the artist takes custom requests.

That's a good idea- I'll look into that! Otherwise, I'll just make some. I have a lot of fabric- just not a lot of time.
Thanks, Kiwi!

Redbubble and Cafepress use user uploaded images and can print on just about anything :)
There are also a few on E-bay that will do any image you want!
