As many of you know I have been busy making decorations for Grace's First Birthday. Today I decided to set up the buffet table with all of the decorations I have made so far. I wanted to see how the table was taking shape. While looking at the table set-up something seemed to be missing. The long white tablecloth that hung down to the floor looked so plain. It needed a pop of color so I decided to make a fabric bunting. Confession: I absolutely hate using a sewing machine and avoid it at all costs. It is such a pain to take out and set up. I have to wind the bobbin, thread the needle, and every time I change colors I have to start all over again. Ugh! All of the directions I found to make a fabric banner involved a sewing machine. Not going to happen. In only an hour I was able to create a 100" banner with just some scraps of fabric, some twine and my glue gun. I can't wait to use it at Grace's Birthday Party. Materials Fabric Scraps Banner Pattern (printed and cut to size - I used the largest triangle) Fabric Scissors Twine Sewing Pins Hot Glue Gun Instructions 1) Prepare Fabric Start by ironing your fabric to diminish the wrinkles. This will make cutting out the fabric easier. 2) Cut Out Your Fabric Triangles Begin by folding your fabric in half. Place the top of the triangle along the fold of the fabric and pin in place. Cut out your fabric using a fabric scissors. Continue to cut out all the triangles that you will need for your project. I used 5 different fabrics and cut 2 triangles out of each. This gave me enough triangles for a 100" banner. Layout your fabric triangles and experiment with the order of your fabrics until you like the pattern. 3) Attach Fabric Triangles to Twine Open the triangles you just cut out to create a diamond shape. Make sure that the wrong side of the fabric is facing towards you. Place a thin bead of glue in the fold of the fabric. Lay twine on top of the glue making sure to leave enough excess on the ends to help hang the banner. Fold the fabric over the twine and glue shut using very thin beads of glue along the sides inside the triangle. Continue placing fabric triangles about 1" from the previous until your banner reaches the desired length. When all the triangles are glued to the twine cut your twine leaving enough excess to help with the hanging on the banner. Then all that is left is to hang your banner and enjoy.

Pin It **If you have used this tutorial or any others by Pink Stitches, please post your pictures on the Pink Stitches Flickr Group! I'd love to see your beautiful creations and feature some of my favorite projects!** So I've been working on a bunch of stuff all week and unfortunately, since some of the stuff is for the swap, I'm not able to share it with you guys yet. But, I did make a pennant banner for our next dessert table and I took some pictures along the way so you can make one too! Here is what you'll need: - Scrap fabric (no smaller than 8" by 9") - Ribbon (I used 7/8" grosgrain in antique white) - Cardstock for your Pennant Template - Scissors, thread, straight pins To make your Pennant Template: Cut a piece of cardstock down to 8" by 9". You can make it smaller or bigger if you wish, as long as you just add one inch to your width to make your length. For example, if you want your pennant to be 4" wide, your length would be 5". Now, use the image below to make your template. Measure to the center of your width at the bottom (in this case 4") and then draw a line from that center to each of the top corners of your cardstock. Cut out your template. *Please email me if this is too confusing* To make your pennant flags: Place the template on the fabric you're going to use and trace out two flags. Cut out your pieces. Place your pieces right side together. Sew along the two longer sides and clip the corner before turning right side out. Make the rest of your flags using the same method. To make your banner: Press your ribbon in half lengthwise. (You don't have to but it makes it easier to keep it even throughout the rest of the project) Leave about a foot of ribbon at one end and then pin the first flag in between the fold. It's up to you how far apart you want your flags. I left about two inches in between each one. Pin the second and third flags. Top stitch the ribbon from the beginning edge to the end of the third flag, keeping it folded. Attach three more flags and repeat until you have sewed on all the flags. I did mine three flags at a time so that I could keep the ribbon pulled and straightened as I went along. When you get to the end of your last flag, leave about another foot of ribbon and cut off the excess. Finish sewing the end in half. And you are finished with your pennant banner! I made mine for our next dessert table but banners like these are so versatile. They can be used for anything! It's going in my craft room after we have finished using it. How cute would these look for an outdoor party?? I hope you guys enjoyed this little tutorial and try making these super easy banners for yourselves! They will put a smile on anyone's face :-)
