April 28, 2017 – Our Creative Haven

Happy Friday everyone! This evening sparks the start of a lovely bank holiday weekend, and what better way to celebrate the May Day bank holiday than with a lovely little garden party. Today’s post is all about this lush homemade bunting! It’s super quick and easy to make, and turns your garden into something special to impress all your guests.

To make the bunting you’ll need around 2 hours, maybe longer/less depending on how much you make. First up you’ll need some lovely coloured fabrics, a sewing machine, thread, fabric scissors, pins and some pre-folded bunting tape (you can pick this up in varying thicknesses in most sewing shops and online).

I then got a piece of cardboard and cut it to the size I wanted my bunting triangles to be. I then drew two triangles side by side before cutting them out.

I then pinned and sewed the triangles before turning them the right way round.

Next get your bunting tape and approximately every 30cm sew in a triangle (vary this length depending on how much space you would like between each piece). Make sure to leave around 30cms at each end of the bunting so that you have enough to tie it onto something in order to hang it up.
