DIY Paper Bunting

Hello Guys,
So today I am doing a DIY because on Thursday it was my Birthday and last Sunday (the 9th) I had my party. I was quite bored the day before so my Mum suggested I made some bunting for the party so I made something up and wanted to share it with you. It is really simple but looks great.







Equipment:
  • Coloured Paper
  • Ribbon - Use as much or as little as you want depending om how long you want it, make sure add an extra 20 cm to each end though so you can tie it up
  • A hole punch
  • Scissors
  • Pencil
  • Ruler

Method:

1) Make a template for how big you want you triangles to be mine were xxxxxxxx. I used paper but card is best.

2) On your coloured paper draw the bunting. If you used card you should just be able to use as a stencil to draw around. If you used paper, put a ruler at the very edge of your template and draw. Then cut out the pieces.


3) Once you have cut out all your pieces hole punch the two top corners of each piece.

4) Lay out all the pieces on the floor in the order you want. I started with one piece and worked outwards, so it is symmetrical, but you can do any order you want.

5) Get your roll of ribbon and cut it so it is about 40cm longer then you want your bunting to be. This is so there is space to tie it at either end. Start with the middle piece(s) and work out on either side.

Now you are finished! Let me know in the comments if you tries this and Share if you enjoyed.
