Easiest:

Quilters will probably like the easy and easier methods better, because they have an image they have to live up to.  However, everybody else and/or people helping/teaching children how to make awesome bunting for their special celebrations (such as Juliette Gordon Lowe’s birthday), will like this type of bunting.

Supply List:  poster board, scissors, curly ribbon, glue, hole-punch and markers, acrylic paint, rubber stamps, glitter (whatever the kids wish to decorate/color the poster board with)

1)      Obtain a piece of poster board and let the kids color it in whatever fashion is okay for you. Spray paint, permanent marker, acrylic paint; depending on the kind of mess you want to handle. OR get some colorful card stock (more pricey than poster board, but already colored to your taste).

2)      Make sure the poster board is thoroughly colored all over

3)      Cut the poster board into equal sized rectangles (or triangles if you must; rectangles are easier)

4)      Kids cut out letters to spell out whatever the happy celebration is about, that will fit on the rectangles.

5)      Paste onto rectangles

6)      Use a hole-punch to put a hole in the top two corners of the rectangles. 

7)      Use curly ribbon to attach each rectangle to the next (in the correct order so the words make sense)

8)      Have them curl the excess ribbon hanging down

9)      Make the end pieces of curly ribbon longer so it will reach the anchor points you have in mind for  hanging this beauty. 

10)   You can use this same bunting every year and remember the fun it was to make with the kids.

Warning: do not eat the glue, as there may be gluten in it, then there goes all the fun right down the toilet!

I looked and looked for a photo of the fine bunting my Brownies made, but, alas, it is not in the scrapbook! What is up with that?  I know I still posses this bunting, which is in a Rubbermaid container up on the shelf in my garage.  Today is not the day for climbing ladders in the garage.  When I locate it, I will photograph it and add it to this dear page, which is dedicated to the festiveness of bunting.
