Bunting banners are so whimsically adorable.  I’ve been seeing them on the front page of etsy and they’ve been catching my eye for the past couple of months.  I definitely think they are going to be the next big thing.  When the string of white lights that we had up in the kids’ room burnt out and had to be replaced, the first thing that came to mind was a string of buntings (is that how you would say it? I have no idea) to brighten up the space.  

Making the bunting was simple and easy.  I made a triangle pattern piece out of some computer paper, and was extra careful to make it symmetrical.  Check out the diagram below:

I cut the triangle out of all types of scrap fabric I had laying around, including some jeans I was about to throw out.  I cut an extra-long piece of white grosgrain ribbon, pulled out my sewing machine, and put a tiny white seam at the top of each triangle to secure it to the ribbon.  When it was done I put and iron to the whole thing and tacked it up to the ceiling.
