“We chased the bees and plucked the flowers, in the merry, merry month of may.”

This bunting was created with “old roses” in mind. A fun little project that can be created to bring May posies and summer bliss indoors or for a tea, office, or birthday party.

Technique:

(1)Print out images and cut out. Add a layer of old sheet music to bunting back with adhesive. Cut with deckle edge scissors. Add a layer of cardstock to back using adhesive and trim with deckle edge scissors. Set eyelets (two) on top of each pennant.

(2) Stamp gate on to pattern paper and cut out. Glue to center of two pennants. Add face, butterflies, and eyes alternating each pennant. Add stickles along edges of butterflies or glitter. Add sparkle bling to bottom of each pennant.

(3)Glue flowers on alternating pennants.

(4) Cut strips of seam binding and thread through each pennant to form bunting. Add “bows” of seam binding in between each pennant.
