For the last 2 days Kerrie and I have been playing upstairs in the cool of the air con when she came for a sleep over from the Blue Mountains. The temperature outside was in the high 30s so it seemed like the best plan.
We continued with my current project making some bunting to hang around the house now that I know such a quick method and the results it can give.
The process is so easy. First you tip all your strips and ribbons that are Christmassy onto the table. Then you cut a square of any fabric into squares of about 6.5" to 10". We found that any bigger is too big and any smaller is fiddly.
Next you attach an assortment of coloured ribbon (or fabric strips) diagonally onto the square of fabric.
Next fold the square diagonally ensuring the top point is fairly empty of decoration and the bottom point has no decoration right down to the point (for ease of pushing out the point when joined).
Turn inside out and fold the top point to the inside.
Admire the effect on either side and choose the side you like best as the display side.
All done!
Very clever method. Looks like you have made a boatload of them!
ReplyDeleteThat bunting looks fabulous hung on the door and the fireplace.
ReplyDeleteThe bunting is looking very festive. That’s a great method and use of small ribbon scraps.
