I was playing around with a design last night, and I came up with this cute little paper banner:
I saved the image at a couple different stages, so now you can make one for yourself!
What you need:
Download and print one of the templates below. To do this, click on the photo to bring up the full-sized image, then right click on it and select "save image as". Insert it into a drawing program (like publisher). You should be able to fit two to a page. Print on white card stock.
blank bunting:
relax bunting:
You also need: scissors, pin-hole punch, embroidery thread or crochet thread, embroidery needle.
Cut out each triangle carefully. I left a thin border of white around each one as I cut it out.
Using the small hole punch, make holes in each flag at the top corners--not too close to the edge. If you don't have this handy punch, go buy one. No, not really--although I do use mine ALL THE TIME. You can skip to the next step and punch your holes with the needle as you string.
Thread flags together. Make sure you start front-to-back and end back-to-front, so your thread doesn't show too much.
End by tying a looped knot in the thread for simple hanging. I show the details in this knot in my fabric bunting tutorial.
Enjoy! I gave you two options for making your paper bunting--either with the word "Relax" or blank. If you'd like to add your own letters to the flags, feel free! Let me know what you come up with!
