You Will Need (7 things)

  • Sewing Machine
  • Fusible Interfacing
  • Scraps of Fabric
  • Wire
  • White Ribbon
  • Letter Bead(s)
  • Pin(s)

Steps (13 steps, 50 minutes)

  1. 1

    You will need a three different squares of fabric for this. I used some Liberty print scraps I had left over, measuring 3" x 3".

  2. 2

    Cut out a small square of interfacing and iron it on to your scrap.

  3. 3

    Fold your scrap in half and cut.

  4. 4

    Fold in half again and cut, so you have 4 small squares. Repeat for the other 2 scraps, so you have 12 squares in total.

  5. 5

    Pick out 13 letter beads to go in between the bunting flags. You can write whatever you like, maybe your name? but I went for I Love Cupcakes.

  6. 6

    Cut a long length of white ribbon, measuring about 25" and a matching length of wire.

  7. 7

    Wrap the ribbon around the wire and pin in place.

  8. 8

    Now take a fabric square and fold over the ribbon.

  9. 9

    Pin in place and slip a bead on either side. Plan out which letter beads go where before hand.

  10. 10

    Repeat this for the remaining fabric squares and beads.

  11. 11

    Sew the flags on by sewing a straight down line the middle. I sewed around the outside of the flags, alternating between straight stitches and zig zags from flag to flag.

  12. 12

    Trim the edges of the wire and tuck them in to the end beads. Tie knots in the ends of the ribbon.

  13. 13

    All done, wear with pride!
