An EASY PEASY gift that can be made in less than 30 minutes!! I've been seeing a lot of cute bunting in crafts these days, and was excited about trying out something with bunting myself. I especially wanted to make something that would be a cute, simple, and quick last-minute gift.
Step 1. Cut out a square of fabric and place in mini embroidery hoop. I used a very small 4-inch hoop. With a disappearing ink pen, mark the fabric where you want your bunting to go. I just made 2 tiny marks on either end of where I imagined the bunting would go.
Step 2. Cut some tiny triangles of whatever scrap fabric you have around.
Step 3. Cut a strip of double-stick fusible webbing. Peel off one side to reveal stickiness. Place all of the triangles on the sticky side, then trim away the excess fusible webbing. You should be left with fabric triangles with sticky stuff on the back.
Step 4. Arrange the triangles on your fabric (without the embroidery hoop), and iron into place. (You can see that my college budget version of an ironing board is a towel on a table.)
Step 5. Place back in embroidery hoop. Use any color embroidery floss to make a "line" that connects all the triangles. Also add the recipient's name!
If you've never embroidered before, there are some really great tutorials on the web. (Like here: http://blog.craftzine.com/archive/2012/06/new_how-to_embroidery_videos_f.html) Learning how to embroider a simple line is a great starting point! Since a name might be a tad more difficult, you could just use a Sharpie for that part.
Step 6. Trim away the excess fabric around the hoop. Tuck in and glue into place with a hot glue gun.
FIN. And ready to be gifted!
