Bunting
When I think of bunting I think back to the Silver Jubilee of 1977 and later on the Diamond Jubille , bunting is indicative of street parties.
Who doesn't love to see pretty bunting flapping in the breeze on a summers day with a gentle breeze blowing through.
And oh how I loved bunting at the last Jubilee , bunting is fun , bunting is lazy summers days.
How To Make Paper Bunting
You can use any paper you like from old wrapping paper, to comics ( just make sure they aren't rare comics old seer music etc.
You will need paper scissors and glue and ribbon.
You can choose a theme floral or perhaps vintage
Cut triangles out of paper using a template for uniformity .
As the bunting is made of paper it won't withstand the ultimate rain we are likely to have , so perfect for indoors.
Fabric bunting
Fabric bunting is as easy as paper bunting to make.
Mother Scuffer loves her bunting in fact she you are there search her blog as she has at least six bunting posts, she loves a good bit of burning does that Mother Scuffer !

Children's Art Work
Are you over run by your child's art !? Have you run out of room on your fridge and your kitchen cupboards !? Then why not turn their artwork into bunting , you could even laminate it !
Super suggestion for families who are overrun with their children's artwork! RT @needaphone: @CBArtmag why not turn it into bunting ?!
