Holiday Bunting

Bunting is definitely for holidays, but can be for anytime you need a little spruce-up of your surroundings.  That one bunting that is on my blog header, you know the one; look at the top of the page.  Anyway, I used it last year to decorate a booth at the quilt show and to decorate Mr. R's old pickup truck for the Kuna Days Parade.  I used it on the patio for when the CLS came over to visit and do some fabric painting.  I washed it, pressed it, folded it up and put it away for the winter.  It is already for fair weather spruce-ups in 2020.

However, I think I want to make another one that is longer in length, so the sprucing goes farther.  The one below, I made for the quilt show a few years back.  It was awesome!  I have it all wadded up in a bag of scraps in my cabinet.  If you have a bunch of scraps, you don't wish to throw out, you could do something along these lines, but perhaps a little tidier.  You could pink the edges of the scraps and make a tidy binding for them to be hanging from.  That would be nicer looking, yet easy.

This was announcing the theme of the next show, which was "Scrap Happy"

Below is the bunting I hang in my dining room at Christmas time. I did not make this bunting.  I bought it at the Craft Warehouse.  I connected both ends to some loops of scrap fabric then hung the loop ends around the knobs at each end of my curtain rod.  Rods with knobs rock!
