DIY: No Sew Bunting
What you'll need:
Ribbon (3 yards at least- try not to get the satin kind, grosgrain works best)
Colorful Cotton Fabric (about 1/2 of each pattern/color)
Fabric Glue (I like fabric tac)
Fabric Scissors or Pinking Sheers
Paper
Time: About 30 min
1. To start out you will need to cut the piece of paper into a trangle (or desired shape) as your pattern.
2. Trace and cut out about 15-20 pieces (about 5 or 6 of each pattern)
3. Lay them out in the desired pattern
4.
Lay the ribbon out on a flat surface and glue a couple of pieces at a
time next to each other. Try to make them not overlap. Repeat until
desired length is covered.
5. Wait for the glue to dry (should be about 15 minutes)
And
that's it! It's super simple and it looks pretty great. There are a lot
of other ways to do it if you'd like to have bunting that lasts a bit
longer and doesn't fray (use pinking sheers and fuse two pieces of
fabric together with interfacing to make sturdier pieces). You can also
make this for birthday parties or with children. Paper is a good
substitute for fabric too.
This
is bunting I made yesterday with the boys I nanny while we were hiding
from the rain inside. The boys colored on the yellow fabric and we used
super hero fabric as the alternative. They really loved it!
Hope this is helpful and pretty straight forward! :)
