Next up is some of the most lovely Christmas bunting ever! It is just simply the sweetest!
It is £12.95 , i think it would just lighten up any room you want to be honest!


Of course , you can challenge yourself and make bunting!! I am no professional when it comes to sewing, but even i have managed to make some lovely bunting in the past! 
It is a lot more simple then people may think!
I will have ago at explaining it to you!
(For a short bunting , of 5 triangles)

1. Cut out ten triangles , out of your chosen material.
2. Put the Triangles into pairs and lay them , with the material front facing inwards on top of each other.
3. Sew (by hand or by sewing machine) around the two triangles, but not the top!
4. Like what you do when you have an inside out sock,  make the triangles so they aren't inside out. (Told you i would give ago at explaining it! Never said it would sound professional haha, That is just how i always think of it!)
5. Iron each triangle so they have no creases in them!
6. Get some think ribbon, and pin the triangles to it..
~Lay the ribbon out on a flat surface.
~Lay each triangle an equal amount of distance away from each other across the ribbon. Each Triangle you lay, place it in the middle of the ribbon, so you have ribbon to fold over.
~Fold over the other half of the ribbon and pin it.
~Then simply sew along the ribbon and hey presto , they you have it!
So Sorry if you don't understand my instructions! Sure there are better instructions out on the web, but there is no harm in having ago at it!
