Easy Peasy Vintage Bunting


You will need:

  • Pages from a book, magazine, paper etc (I chose a vintage book because the paper was firmer)
  • Jute twine (just from a $2 store - have seen upmarket stores selling jute for $10 + recently)
  • Clear spray varnish
  • Hot glue
  • Scissors
  • Embellishments 
The Steps:
Firstly, find a few nice bits of paper.





Then, using a piece of cardboard, create a triangle shaped template. Use the template to cut your nice bits of paper to size. 





Then I sprayed  my triangles with a bit of clear varnish. Just to make them a bit sturdier. 


Fold the top edges over and then cut a length of jute. Begin to glue the jute into the folds. You could measure the distance between each triangle to make them a bit more uniform, but really, I couldn't be bothered! 


After I had finished gluing the pieces to the jute, I decided I wanted the bunting to be a little bit more glam. So I added feathers and pearls. Just watch those fingers, the pearls were fiddly and well, lets just say me and glue guns have a bad track record! 

I'm loving the end result on an old wardrobe I have at home.
