First christmas makes.

Papercrafted Bunting.

I covered strips of card with co-ordinating papers then cut them into triangles.

Then I inked up the edges with distress ink to give them that old look.

I printed words onto card using a vintage font then

 painstakingly cut out each letter by hand.

I bought a die for this purpose but thought the letters were too small.

Again I inked up each letter then stuck them one to a flag.

Punched holes in top corners of each flag.

Cut some twine to length (it was a bit thin so I used four lengths together)

and threaded it through to join the flags

I left a 7 inch length at each end. Knotted a loop, leaving a 2 inch end to

which I attached a jingle bell and knotted on a piece of ribbon.

Ta Da !!  a length of cute bunting only about 2 foot long.

More to come.
