Inspirational Paper Bunting Flags

I shared some of my bunting flags on my Shells Sunday Snippets blogpost but I thought I would show them all to you and give you a mini-tutorial to answer some of your questions.

1. Make a template using thin cardboard from a cereal box - mine are 13cm/5" wide and 21cm/8 1/2" long:

You could make square or rectangles....

2. Collage and or paint some watercolour/scrapbooking paper.

Here I have glued old sewing patterns on to watercolour paper then I painted an acrylic wash over it.

I added some gold dots and inspirational words to mine.

3. Use you template to cut out your bunting flag shape and then hole punch some holes in it:

4. Then thread some string/twine through the holes - I found that they hung beautifully without the need of gluing.

Here they are hanging up:
