Lazy Mornings: Bunting

I currently having a craft-crush on Bunting, not only because it adds fun to any space, but because it's so easy to make! I had a little go a couple of weeks ago, using paper and string. Here's what to do...

What You Need:

-Ruler

-Scissors

-String/Twine/Ribbon

-Textile of your choice, in this case, I used Paper (x however many patterns and triangles you want)

-Pencil

-Glue

Steps:

1. Choose a selection of patterns and colours, in paper, linen etc. You can be as varied or as plain as you like! I chose subtle pinks and blues. The paper size was also just big enough to fit one triangle, which brings us to step number two...

2. Measure up a triangle onto the paper. Keep in mind the paper has to be big enough to leave a fold on the bottom of the triangle that can fold over the string and keep the triangle in place. I measured 15cm/5.9inches from point to base (16cm/6.2inches including 1cm fold at bottom) and 23cm/9inches wide.

3. Next, cut out the triangle, and fold at the base.

4. Cut a length of string, long enough to keep a gap of 5.5cm/2.1inches between each triangle.

5. Glue the fold onto the string and the back of the triangle to secure the paper in place. If you're using cloth, then glue the string to the cloth and sew the two sides together.

And voilla!

Once you've done that, why not try a different shape or try text, or lace or....Just have fun with it! Here's a little pattern and colour inspiration.
