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.

easy-to-make Summer bunting

I love bunting! 

Like here, here, and even in my garden.

Whether made of fabric or scrapbook paper, it's fun and easy to make . . . and its possibilities are endless!

This pretty little ol' dishtowel  inspired my Summer bunting.

~ You can find the burlap trimmed dishtowels for sale in my etsy shop! ~

My best-friend, Alex, gave me these dishtowels for my birthday . . . and I fell in love with their beautiful, warm colors . . . and classic design. 

They look like Summer, don't they!?!

I thought I would change up my DIY chalkboard and drape Summer bunting across it, instead of writing a message this time. 

Here's how I made it . . .

STEP 1.

Select your favorite scrapbook paper and fabric trim (minimum 1-inch width).

Cut scrapbook paper into triangles (bunting flags).

Fold fabric trim in half, and then iron to make a seam.

~ I love the colors and patterns! ~

STEP 2.

Tuck the bunting flags into the ironed seam, 

and then pin the flags into place. 

STEP 4.

Sew a straight line along fabric trim,

removing the pins as you sew.

 

Voila, you're finished!

Now it's time to decorate . . .

It's even darling draped across a bouquet of flowers!

 

Happy Summer, friends!
