After deciding to give my noble Indostani cavalry some lance pennants I starting looking for easy and inexpensive way to create them. The general consensus is to use the foil from a flattened out toothpaste or food product tube. I've had a hell of a time sourcing any of this type of stuff, but I have found an alternative source of strong malleable foil that is found under the lids of malt type energy drinks (like Milo in Australia) and baby formulas. These foil seals can be removed, flattened out and easily cut to an appropriate shape. Attach with super glue and bend to shape with a thin tube. (Click the images to enlarge)
