Bunting DIY.

I think this is my first official DIY. It's really easy and a perfect watching-t.v. kind of project.
1st you'll need some fabrics, and cut them to roughly the same size (i used some left-overs from my broaches).

I chose 3 main fabric colours and mixed in some different felts to give it a little bit of personality.

Next, you'll need some string or yarn/wool and a needle with a big eye.

You can stitch them onto the yarn however you like, but I wanted to make sure they stayed pretty flat and I could move them up and down the string easily. (Go through the front side only, then both, then just the back- so it sits nicely on the yarn). String them all how you want them and then...

I highly recommend a helper cat at this stage to chase you around the room, or to pounce on your ends of yarn.

Take some pictures, cause they sure look pretty [: and then hang.

(sorry for the in-progress house photo. haha, it's a lot fuller now).

I hung mine up by a window so they dance when there is wind and shine when the sun is out.

I had some screen printed lions already on this fabric, but it would be super cute if you embroidered something onto a couple of squares.

I hope you enjoyed this and if you make one, link me in the comments to some pictures- I want to see. [:

One of my 'new house' goals is to keep it constantly decorated so my home feels like a party or festival all the time. [: hopefully i'll have a lot more fun DIYs to show you.
Hows your thursday been?
