Instructions

  1. Small bunting1 1281733602

    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. Small bunting2 1281733801

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

  3. Small bunting4 1281733930

    Fold your scrap in half and cut.

  4. Small bunting5 1281734322

    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. Small bunting6 1281734693

    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. Small bunting7 1281734698

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

  7. Small bunting9 1281735253

    Wrap the ribbon around the wire and pin in place.

  8. Small bunting8 1281734722

    Now take a fabric square and fold over the ribbon.

  9. Small bunting10 1281735264

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

  10. Small bunting11 1281735268

    Repeat this for the remaining fabric squares and beads.

  11. Small bunting12 1281735286

    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. Small necklace3 1281735295

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