Do you have a celebration coming up? Need some cheery
decorations that won't cost the earth? If so, this D.I.Y bunting is
just the thing. And what's more, it's quick and easy to make,
requires no sewing and you probably have the materials lying
around.
Materials
Wrapping paper (the kind that isn't plastic-y is best)
Twine or string, the length depends on how long you want your bunting
Thick cardboard
A pen or marker
Scissors
Stapler
An iron and ironing board
Cut a triangle out of your thick cardboard, making it the size you
would like your bunting flags to be. Clip the top corners just a bit.
Place the cardboard on top of the wrapping paper and use it as a
template to trace the triangle onto the paper.
Cut out the triangles.
If the wrapping paper you are using is used or wrinkled, you can
flatten it with your iron. Turn the steam function off on your iron
and set it to warm. Iron both sides for the best results. If you are
using paper that has too much plastic in it, it will curl up like this.
When you have finished cutting out and flattening your flags, fold
the tops down at the point where you cut the corners off.
Place the flags on top of the string, making the distance between
them about 2.5cm or whatever looks good to you. Then use a
stapler to attach the flags to the string. Stapling on a slight angle
helps to catch the string and attach the flag better.
Keep going until you reach your desired length or you run out of
flags.
There you have it!
Hope this helps you better celebrate life's special occasions.
God Bless,
