I love decorating my room. I'm always arranging plastic flowers in pretty pots, or buying little boxes to store things in. My walls are quite bare though (other than a calendar and a chalk board), so I wanted to put some bunting up. Bunting is actually very expensive, and for a decent length you could end up paying £20! Making bunting is often very time consuming aswell, and no one has much time when school is on. Here is a quick way to make original bunting for your walls. And here's the great part- no sewing is required!
For your doily bunting, you will need-
❂ 1 Pack of doilies- any colour, any material, any size. The amount you need will depend on the length you want your bunting though. 12 will be plenty.
❂ Ribbon- about the length you want your bunting, plus 8inches/20cm.
❂ PVA glue
❂ Scissors
To make your bunting, start off by folding your doilies in half, and then back out again. Cut along the creased line.
Lay one of the half doilies facing upwards (the side with the pattern on it should be facing upwards), and squeeze a thin line of glue along the very top edge.
Carefully lay the ribbon on top of the glue and press down. Repeat all the way along the ribbon, leaving a couple of centimetres between each piece, until you reach your desired length.
It really is as easy as cutting and sticking! It's so quick and easy to make (not to mention affordable), and it looks good on any wall colour! Hope you enjoy making your doily bunting!
