DIY Friday: Mini Paper Bunting
If you love bunting, you are going to love our mini DIY bunting which looks super cute as a cake topper! Perfect for vintage, rustic or garden party style weddings, these garlands can be styled to suit your wedding theme. Here we show you how to make these adorable decorations in three different styles.
Look 1: Pretty Patterns
The Supplies
- Mini Kraft paper pennant garland
- Patterned craft paper – mix and match!
- Fabric ribbon
- Mini letter stamp and ink pad
- Wooden skewers
- Scissors and glue gun
Step by Step
Step 1: Cut two lengths of bunting, to the length you require.
Step 2: Cut a piece of the fabric ribbon into the shape of the bunting and stamp on your initial.
Step 3: Cut your patterned craft paper into pennants, just a bit smaller than the size of the bunting. The garland has three different sized triangles – we left the smallest ones plain as a contrast.
Step 4: Glue the patterned craft paper triangles to the bunting, alternating the patterns. Then connect the two strings of bunting either side of the fabric pennant. Allow to dry.
Step 5: Once dried attach the banner to the skewers and voila, look 1 is completed!
