Instructions how to make no sew bunting.
To create your DIY bunting, start by preparing your materials. First, cut out the insides of letters on cardstock using scissors or a crafting knife to create letter stencils. Next, cut out six triangles from another piece of cardstock, with dimensions of 15cm x 20cm each. Measure and cut your hessian fabric to a length that is roughly a multiple of 15cm, depending on how many triangles you’ll be making. For our example, we’re using about 90cm in length and 40cm in height. Fold the hessian in half to add strength, then iron it to create a crisp crease. Place your triangle template at the top of the folded fabric, leaving a small gap between each stencil. Draw around the template to mark out your triangles.Once you have all your triangles marked out, pin the two halves of the hessian together to keep everything in place. Cut out each triangle and secure it with pins in the corners. Next, use your letter stencils to paint or trace letters onto each triangle. Allow them to dry completely before moving on to the next step.To assemble your bunting, lay out the triangles on a flat surface and measure out your twine. The longer the better, as this will give you more flexibility when hanging your bunting. Unfold each triangle and place the twine in the crease of the fold. Run a line of glue down both edges of the triangle, leaving a small gap at the top to allow for movement. Fold the triangle over the twine to secure it in place.Finally, you can decorate your bunting with ribbons, lace, or other embellishments to match your desired theme and style.
