DIY Crafts // Making of the Bunting

This is an example of what the step by step photographs will look like throughout the manual.  This example is the bunting which I have been making for the project.  These images have since been edited by Emily in Lightroom.  


The materials you will need:



Cut out bunting triangles using the triangle template provided.  If you want to be eco-friendly and recycle / upcycle why not use old clothes which were originally deemed for the charity shop?  Using old clothes and old fabrics gives a shabby chic look to your bunting with all the mismatched materials.  Some of the fabrics here are from old clothes and some are from a bag of off-cuts I was lucky to find in Leeds Market at one of the many fabric stalls.


Get your bias tape and fold it in half lengthways.  Pin the bunting triangles inside the bias tape with the short edge at the top as you can see below.


Once you're all pinned up it's time to get sewing!  If you have a sewing machine then lucky you, this will only take a minute, hand - sewing takes a little longer but is well worth it in the long run!
