I promised to share my bunting tutorial from my Fall mantel last week. It’s really very simple, but if you’re like me, you like a little instruction before making something for the first time. I did look around the blogosphere before tackling this. And I got an idea of how to start, but this is how I did it. I didn’t follow any tutorial really, just winged it.

 

Supplies:
1. Jute or some kind of string or ribbon
2. Fabric
3. Graph paper (optional)
4. Card stock or cardboard
5. Glue gun
6. Ruler
7. Iron

10 Ways to Customize Your Home on a Budget Guide Button

First, I grabbed a piece of graph paper I had on the floor. I’d been using it to mark up something else, but I didn’t need it anymore. (You can print graph paper off the Internet. Just google it.) I measured 7 inches across. And then from the middle of my 7 inches, I measured 9 inches down and then created a triangle.

At the top of the triangle, I added an inch or so of extra space and made it a little shorter than 7 inches wide. I wanted to create a flap at the top to fold over my jute.

I then cut out my shape and traced it on to card stock and then cut it out. I didn’t want my pattern to be too flimsy when I was tracing it on to the fabric.

I then traced it on all my fabrics and cut them out.

Next, I ironed them. My fabric was a little wrinkled, but I also wanted to iron down the flaps.

I used my ruler to crease the fabric, then then pulled the ruler away as I ironed it.

I took my jute and placed it in the flap and hot glued it down. Easy peasy!

And then I hung it up on my mantel for the Fall! I think it’s so cute. I’m going to do one for Miss A’s room, too!

Happy Weekend!!

    I love this. Thank you for sharing! I’m always a fan of anything that says “no-sew”. I’m not exactly gifted in that area 😉 If you get the chance, I’m co-hosting a link party this week and I’d love for you to link this up over at Tell Me Tuesday.

      “No-sew” is like my middle name. Love everything about not using a sewing machine. 🙂

    Your bunting is lovely. I have always wanted to make one, but I have a dark toned stone fireplace and the burlap ones I have seen will get lost. Yours is pretty and I think that using color will really pop! Thanks!

      Oh you have so many options besides burlap. You should definitely make one!! 🙂

    This is just adorable, and looks so simple to do! Really jazzes up your mantel. And, might I just add – you have the nicest looking ironing board cover….makes me realize how ratty-tatty mine is getting. 🙂

      Really?!? I never expected the ironing board cover comment. I think it’s so ratty because it’s turned yellow where I iron the most. I’ve been on the lookout for a replacement and can’t seem to find one I like. 🙂 Maybe I’ll keep it since you think it’s nice. I wonder if I could wash it and it’d look better? Hmmm, things to ponder. Ha!

      Thanks for stopping by!!

    This is really good to know how to do. We don’t really have a place to hang one of these, but I think I’m going to put a shelf in our den to create a “mantel”. Can’t wait to try this!
