Inspirations by D: Paper Bunting

This has probably been done many times, but why not share it again.

If you have been with me since the beginning, then you're familiar with my son's bunting project.

But since I've received many comments about this cute little scrapbook bunting craft, I

decided to share it on this post.

It's fairly easy, all you need are the basics:

scissors or any cutting device
tape
scrapbook paper
string
Ruler

Cut your paper into small triangles about 3 inches the long way and 2 inches on the top.

You may group a few papers together so that when you cut them, they may come out all the same size.

Once you have cut all your triangles out, fold the top of each one as featured above.

Place the string under the fold making sure that it has room to slide over so that you may

space your triangles as you wish.

Tape your fold to secure the string and triangles.

Repeat the steps with each triangle until you have formed your bunting.

There you have it, a cute bunting project.

Happy Crafting!

It's that time again, rain, rain, rain which in my house means "Get your Craft On". My son loves to get crafty, especially if scissors and strings are involved. Don't worry, he has the rounded tip safety scissors and I supervise him at all times. Since this craft had a lot of cutting, I did the cutting for him and he did everything else.

For this project you will need,

construction paper or any pretty printed or colored paper you have on hand, Scissors, Yarn the length you wish, Small hole punch, and Crayons or markers.

1-Create a triangle template to the desired size.

2- Trace a triangle template unto the construction paper. Bend the top half of each flag and then trim the sides, so they match the triangles edges. Now you will have triangular shaped paper.

3- Next take the hole puncher and punch holes on each corner on the short flat side of the triangle(you should have only two holes per triangle). Let your little one draw on the triangles or write words, their names etc...

4- After all the triangles have their holes and have been decorated by your child/children, thread the string through one hole then the other. Start inserting each triangle through the string. In order to keep it in place you may use scotch tape to stick the string to the paper. Little man loved inserting the triangles and when he saw what the outcome was, he was thrilled. He is so happy to have done this all on his own.
