{Tutorial} Fabric Bunting

0 · Sep 7, 2010 · 6 Comments

I have been working on a fun new dessert table for my daughter’s birthday and thought I would share a bit of a sneak peak.  The theme for the table: Haley’s favorite colors, blue and green.  I decided that one of the design elements would be a fabric bunting, so chic and fun.  Here is a tutorial on how to make a very simple bunting.

Now, I’m all about quick and easy, and so is this bunting.  What you will need:

  • Fabric of coordinating colors and patterns
  • Ribbon
  • Thread
  • Sewing Machine
  • Rotary cutting tool
  • Cutting Mat
  • Straight edge ruler
  • Straight pins

Now, when I came up with this design element for the table I decided that I didn’t want the triangles to be uniform.  So, I didn’t make a pattern {gasp!}  I folded the fabric in half and started cutting away.  I knew I wanted big and small triangles so I just eyeballed it.  You actually get better use of your fabric this way.  Less waste.

Another design element that I wanted for this bunting, I didn’t want perfect, finished edges.  I basically stitched the two triangles together, back to back with the sewing machine. This creates a bit of a rougher edge, but it saves TONS of time!

Once you have all of your triangles sewn together, lay out your ribbon and start to pin the triangles to the back side of the ribbon.  I am planning on using this bunting attached to a tablecloth so there is no need to make sure the wrong side of the bunting looks good.  You can however, lay another length of ribbon on the other side to create a finished look for both sides of the bunting.

Once you have a pattern that you like, you can now stitch your ribbon and triangles together with the sewing machine using a coordinating thread.

Voila!  You have a fabulous and easy fabric bunting for your next design project.

Not all holiday gifts need to be ooey gooey sweet. Savory holiday gifts are just as lovely, sometimes even more so. I personally have been off sugar for 3 months now and I’m really nervous for the holiday season to arrive. Having the house fill up with sweets is NOT what I’m wishing for this Christmas. I would LOVE to get one of these Ball® Sharing Jar soup mixes as a gift. Not only are they soothing to the soul, but they are also good for you as well. - WhipperBerry @ballcanning #soupinajar #printabletags #souprecipe

Soup Mix Sharing Jars 

This year, I’m working on all kinds of fun gifts for the Holidays that will look spectacular gifted inside of a jar. One of my favorites is the White Chocolate Ginger Scone Mix in a jar. It’s really easy to put together a whole bunch of these gifts and really not expensive at all. It’s always a bonus to save a little money during the holidays. @ballcanning #giftsinajar #neighborgifts #teachergifts #sconeinajar

As much as we hate to admit it, cold and flu season is on its way. There is nothing more miserable than one of those lousy winter colds. What’s almost just as bad is watching someone you care for dealing with a cold or, Heaven forbid, the flu! I’m always looking for ways to help cheer them up and let them know that we love them and hope for their better health. That’s when I came up with this idea for a Cold and Flu Rescue Kit to share with those loved ones that are suffering. • WhipperBerry

Not to knock commercially prepared applesauce, but when you have the opportunity to enjoy homemade applesauce, you will know the difference. It’s sweet and tangy with the perfect texture.
