The Magic of Bunting

There are almost as many ways to make bunting as there are ways to use it.
The collage above includes some favourites. Also check out the bunting in the picture at my sister's wedding in my blog about signs a few days ago.

First choice you have to make is what kind of materials you are going to use, which depend on where you wish to use it. Newspaper bunting will not hold up to a shower of rain, and small triangles could get lost in the brightness of the sun.

1. Shows a Newspaper Bunting, and has letters painted/stuck on to convey the message.
2. An alternative to bright coloured bunting, is to use paper doilies.
3. Newspaper Bunting again, without colour. You could even use some sheet music to personalise it.
4. making the Newspaper Bunting as seen on mayamade blog.
5. Make one with Small squares in your chosen colour scheme. These look great draped around the skirt of a table, across a window or to dress a mantle.
6. A cute gift card with bunting across it - would also make a great invitation.
7. Using Christmas themed papers or material would make a great themed decoration. This can be adapted to all kinds of occassions and events.
8. Similar to the mini bunting in pic 5, this involves folding the squares on the diagonal to create a triangular pattern.
