simple Halloween bunting . . .



I love bunting!

Whether made of fabric or paper, they're so simple to make . . . and always look so fun & festive.

I shared a simple easy-to-make bunting that I made over the Summer for my chalkboard here.




So when I was asked to coordinate a Pumpkin Carving ~ Harvest Festival this Saturday . . . and thoughts turned to decorations . . . I immediately thought of bunting.

I love traditional orange and black this time of year, and fell smitten with the polka dot and chevron prints I found. 





With a few materials and scissors (pictorial here), I made bunting for this Saturday's Festival.

I have special plans for this bunting . . . and hope to take photos so that I can share it with you.






LET'S STAY in touch!

  1. Love your sweet fall bunting! And your bittersweet! It's so funny...I'll write a post and then see another with a similar theme. It's happened more than once. I guess that means I'm on the right track.

  7. What a pretty bunting, they are always such an easy way to add color and fun... I stay away from fabric, but as you said in your tutorial paper works too.. Thanks for sharing.
    I linked over from the Homemade by You Party where I am participating with my
    Cute Halloween project,

    Every Leaf Free Printable
    I would love it if you'd stop by.

    1. Hi Antonella,
      So happy you stopped by!
      Paper is so much faster to use when making bunting. It takes me approximately 20 minutes from start to finish to make it. And you'll feel so inspired when you browse through the beautiful array of scrapbook papers sold in craft stores.
      Hope you keep in touch and visit again soon.
      Happy Fall,
      Suzanne
