Old Roses Bunting

May 5, 2012

As seen on the Paper Whimsy Inspire Blog:
http://paperwhimsy.com/inspiration/?p=2595

“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.

{Sweet Itty Bitty Bunting}

February 4, 2012

Get ready to celebrate Valentine’s Day by creating this itty bitty bunting. This can be hung anywhere in your home, studio or office spreading love and romance everywhere! It would also be a fun project to create with a craft group, the kids, or grandchildren.

Technique:

(1) Cut out all your Beautiful faces and Digi sheet items. Distress edges with ink. Add Stickles along edges of items and set aside to dry.

(2) Place Beautiful faces on ATC backgrounds and embellish with hearts and words. Add mini brads. Mount on to cardstock for added dimension.

(3) Add eyelets to upper corners of bunting (words spell out Sweet) and ATC pieces. String fine ribbon, twine, or string through bunting.

(4) Tie ribbon strands in between each image. Hang in place.

I would love to see your variation of this project! I hope you will share it if you make one.
