Valentines paper bunting

So I adore bunting! I prefer to make paper bunting as its easier and I can stick all sorts of embellishments onto it!


Here I have made a small section of bunting just in time for valentines day. 

To make the bunting, first I cut out the triangles. I prefer to use a template for this to get them all the same. Once that is done its time to decorate! I used bit and bobs I had about the place. I also cut strips and shapes from paper to decorate. To raise the paper shapes off the triangle I would normally use the sticky dots, unfortunately I had run out so I used a button (In an awful colour that would just been left in my tin otherwise!) to give it the raised look. Once you have done all your embellishments and left them to dry just stick them onto some ribbon! Again I used ribbon I already had in my stash of things, but you can use any you like. It may be best to experiment a bit first, as depending on your glue they may not stick properly. If this happens I would recommend using double sided tape. And there you have it, some pretty bunting to go around the house!

A close up of the first 2 flags. The one on the left I have used strips of paper and some little gems. The one of the right I used a paper heart raised using a button, and another gem on top.


A close up of the middle 2 flags. The left one has a paper cut out with a fabric heart on top. The right one has gems at the bottom, cut out paper with a raised heart on top.

And finally the last 2 flags. On the left I used a paper cut out with buttons stuck on top. On the right I used paper cut out shape and a paper strip again with a button.






















There are some may different things you can do with bunting, so have fun with it!!
