Quick & Easy Mini Me Bunting is the first project
in my new series
Jul.Christmas.Noel
As there are only 12 weeks until Christmas,
I am getting a head start on with my decorations.
This year, I am going to try something new – no more red!
I will be using pastels, a few brights & white.
Which is where the Mini Me Bunting comes in.
It’s a really Quick & Easy project.
Inspired in part by the fabric bunting I made last November
for a lovely picnic in the park,
& all of the lovely Paper & Washi tape mini bunting
that I keep seeing on Pinterest.
Using up some of
the leftover fabric from last years bunting
this is what I did…
Materials:
Modge Podge (Fabric)
String e.g. Divine Twine
Small paint brush (for glue)
Scissors (or pinking shears)
Fabric leftovers
Bunting Flags:
a) Fold over your fabric (wrong side to wrong side)
b) Finger Press along the fold line
c) Cut a triangle shape – start both cuts from the folded side of the fabric
- When you unfold the fabric, you should end up with a diamond shape
- My flags measure 3cm across all sides.
N.B
To keep the folded shape, lay out all of your flags & iron them.
Assembly:
a) Lay your string (1x meter) out on a flat surface.
b) Slide your flags over & onto your string at 2 cm intervals.
c) Spread a thin layer of Modge Podge onto the bottom triangle layer & string.
d) Gently press the top triangle layer down – repeat.
- When the string is full, hang to dry.
N.B
I found working in batches of 10 flags worked best for me.
It really is that easy.
How quick the project takes is entirely up to you.
I got a little carried away when I was cutting my flags,
and had to spend ‘some time’ making up
approx 10 meters of bunting.
Enjoy!
P.S How are you getting ready for ‘Chrummer Time’?
