my sweet sweet niece's birthday party was the other weekend and she asked me to help with decorations. I'm really loving bunting right now (well, really for the last few years) so I figured I'd do a tutorial on how to make a fabric bunting (so it will last and she can hang it in her room after the party)
I gathered up some fabric scraps, cut a triangle template out of card stock, grabbed a spool of ribbon (not shown) and pulled out the old sewing machine (also not shown)
ignore the glue gun... he's such a ham trying to get in all my crafting pictures.
using the card stock template, I cut out 18 triangles. If you want it to look really super awesome and nice, iron your fabric. I hate ironing so I just let it be wrinkled and called it rustic.
See it's easy to call things rustic or organic just by being lazy!!
pulled out a couple of feet of ribbon and then started folding it in half over the top of the triangles and sewing it. If you're not a sewing kind of person, I suppose you could give the glue gun a little action. Just be careful!! Depending on your fabric and your tolerance for pain, the heat may burn you!!!
beauty!
