Make your own bunting
This simple and super quick fabric bunting is cute enough to spruce up any room for any occasion but I’m particularly fond to these at Christmas! I don’t normally like home decor on my walls as I’m super minimalist but Christmas is contagious, can’t help but to decorate anything in sight!

I have this little empty corner in my living room, where I try to grow a ficus plant. The plant looks quite lonely over there and I thought I would make something cute to keep it company. And what’s best than a little Christmasy fabric bunting? This DIY fabric bunting is also an excellent way to find a good use for all those fabric scraps I keep stashing!
This Christmas bunting is a great beginner sewer project since it’s super-easy and no complicated skills are involved! And it looks very pretty hanging on walls, in trees or even on a fence. If you’ve ever wondered how to make fabric bunting, now is the perfect time to learn and make a couple for yourself or even give these as gifts. Celebrate the Christmas with a quick and easy last minute holiday fabric bunting!

Directions:
- Print out your template.
- Fold fabric in half and cut around the template. This way you’ll have two layers of fabric at the same time. Use the ruler to cut straight lines.
- Put the fabric triangles right side together and sew down the long sides.
- Trim excess fabric at the tip.
- Turn the triangle right side out and using a pointy tool (but not too sharp) push the tip of the triangle (I used a crayon)
- Do as many triangles as you like then press them all.
- Trim the excess fabric sticking out.
- Time to attach the triangles to the ribbon. Put the 2 ribbon strips right side together and sew down on one side, as close to the edge as possible.
- Open up the ribbon casing and arrange your fabric triangles as you like.
- Close the ribbon casing and pin
- Sew down as close to the the edge as possible.
- Press again and hang on a wall, your Christmas tree or your fence.
Now that you know how to make your own bunting, you’ll probably want to keep making these cuties over and over again!
