Hello every one!!!
Sorry it’s been a while since I posted any thing. I’ve been so busy crafting and looking after my girls.
I’m determined to post all my creations ASAP!!!
This is one of many.
So without any more delay, here we go!
I’ve never made bunting before, but always wanted to try.
So when I had to make some decorations for my girls second birthday party I got my wish!
Before I start let me just say that I am NOT an expert seamstress! My mum taught me the basics and the rest I’ve taught my self through trial and error so please forgive me for any mistakes you may come across.
If you have any questions about this tutorial do leave a comment and I will try to answer them.
I started off by making a template with card paper. I made a diamond shape just because it was easier for me to cut out more triangles at once but a triangular shape will do just fine!!!
Cut out the triangles or diamond shapes on your chosen fabric. I cut out 40 diamonds, which makes 20 triangles.
Sew along the sides of the triangle, wrong way around!
Cut along the top so you can turn the fabric inside out to make it the “right” side out!
Iron the triangles flat to make it easier to sew them all together.
I used a red ribbon to hold all the triangles together. It was a little thinner than 3cm and it was just right so I wouldn’t recommend you to use anything less than 2cm thickness just because it makes it more difficult when sewing.
Pin the the triangles onto the ribbon about 5 cm apart from each other and sew!
Iron your bunting one last time to flatten out the ribbon.
And hang it anywhere you like!!!
The beauty of sewing 2 triangles together is that you can hang it from both sides or even across a room, because it doesn’t have a wrong side it will look neat on both sides!
That’s it!!!
Enjoy!!!
