Holiday Bunting


On my junkin' excursions I am always looking for vintage fabrics and I have a cabinet full of fabric in my office.  I also like to make bunting or banners with my fabric-it is an easy and festive decoration for so many things.  I decided to make a red bunting for the holidays, so I pulled out a bunch of red and white fabric scrapes.  



For the shape of the fabric, I grabbed a piece of computer paper, folded it in half and cut.  

The next step was to place the paper shape on my fabric and cut.  To finish it off I just glued the fabric to a piece of twine with my hot glue gun. 


I decided for the red bunting to not put any letters on it so I could use it for many holidays (Christmas, Fourth of July, Valentine's Day, Memorial Day.....).  


A bit of Red in my Bedroom




I also made a NOEL bunting with green fabric for a local shop owner. I did the same thing to make this banner and then I stamped foam letters with black paint on each piece of fabric.

  1. Your buntings are really cute!

    Well done!

    And super smart about using the red and white for other holidays - makes it three times as nice!

  2. Very very adorable. I love the bunting in Red and White over the bed with the beautiful French pillow alongside the striped one. Your Christmas décor is a very merry and bright theme and I feel joy and happiness in your home.

  4. Aw, very cute! I just adore anything red and white. I still have never made one of these. Can you believe that? By the time I get around to it, they'll be out of style!
