Step-6 With right sides together and leaving a 1 centimetre gap at the top of the flag, feed the trim in between the fabric triangles, ensuring the pom poms are facing inwards.
Step-7 Carefully stitch along both diagonal edges making sure you have caught the trim as you go. When you get to the tip of the flag make sure the needle is down and feed the trim around the trim to create a nice point.
Then continue sewing leaving 1 centimetre at the end. Step-8 When you have sewn your flag turn it the right way and press to get nice crisp edges. Step-9 When you have made all your flags sandwich them between the bias binding and pin to your bias binding. Continue pinning the flags leaving 5 centimetre intervals between each one.
Top Tip! Remove the pins as you stitch the binding tape over each of flags. This way the pins don't fall out as you handle the rest of the bunting. Hang the bunting as is or add additional decorations to each triangle. For a minimalistic or everyday look, hang the bunting as is.
The colors and subtle patterns will make a nice decoration for any room. If the bunting is for a celebration, add shapes or letters to each of the triangles. Method 3. Fold a piece of paper in half to create a crease that will support the string.
Any color or detailing on the paper should be visible on the outside. Press in the crease with your fingernail or the edge of a ruler. When folded, the piece of paper should still be able to support the size of the template you made. To do this, choose a piece of paper that's at least double the size of your flag template. For example, a standard piece of scrapbook paper that is 12 by 12 in 30 by 30 cm will make 2 equilateral triangles that are 6 in 15 cm around.
Making your template for a 6 in 15 cm triangle will eliminate a lot of tedious measuring later on. If you want to reuse your paper bunting for different events, use a thick paper like cardstock or scrapbook paper. Thicker paper won't crease or tear as easily as printer or construction paper. Place your template against the folded edge of the paper and trace it. Make light pencil marks that can be easily erased.
If you are worried that the pencil will not erase well, refold the paper so that the design is facing inward before tracing the template. Depending on the size of the paper and the size of your template, you may garner 2 flags from each page.
Cut out the traced triangles but make sure not to cut the folded edge. Use scissors or a paper cutter to do this. If you use scissors, be careful to not deviate from the stenciled line, as divots and curved lines will be visible on your bunting when you display it.
Slip the flags over the string and leave some space between each flag. Hang the folded crease over the string so the pattern or color is visible on both sides. Have fun playing with the spacing between the flags. Spread the flags far apart from each other, or place them close together.
Once you decide on a distance, use a ruler to make the spaces even. Place 2 glue dots inside each flag to secure them to the string. Put 1 glue dot in the center of the crease and 1 at the point of the triangle. Stick the glue dot along the crease so that it overlaps the string. Then carefully press the triangle closed to secure it. The glue dot on the string will keep the triangle from falling off or sliding. Instead of glue dots, you can also double-stick tape.
Decorate the flags with letters and shapes to further personalize it. Consider adding someone's name or a personalized message onto the bunting.
This is a great detail to add if you are using your bunting for a holiday or celebration. Tie dye with two colors can be done by two methods: tying and dyeing the entire item with the lighter color first then tying and dyeing with the second color; or tie off areas and use a squeeze bottle with dye to apply to areas for more precise detailing of color. Not Helpful 0 Helpful 2. Decide on the size of the bunting.
Print the design onto stickers as close to the size of bunting you wish to display. Make the bunting according to directions with the stickers applied. If you need a large quantity, make an original and have it copied onto sticker sheets.
