Looking for a how to make bunting tutorial

[isabelkr]

does anyone recommend a good bunting tutorial? I need to make some for a birthday party and I see so many different ways of making them!

Thank you!

I haven’t got a tutorial but it’s really simple. Get 2 triangles, wrong sides together (so the nice fabric is facing each other) sew down the long sides, leaving a hole in the short side. Turn the correct way, iron, stitch to binding

This is the way I do it to make double sided bunting quickly with no raw edges, a nice lasting finish (you can speed through parts of the video as it’s a bit chatty!):

If you haven’t got a cutting mat and rotary cutter, the easiest way is prob to draw yourself a cardboard template and cut out with scissors - just takes a bit longer.

This video doesn’t show you show to make bias binding but it’s just a strip of fabric with the sides folded in and pressed with an iron. You can buy reels of bias binding if you don’t want to make your own.

Btw an alternative to bias binding is to use a cotton tape like this one - I’d get the wide one and fold it over as you sew your flags in, so it wraps round the raw edges of the flags.

I make bunting every year for my garden (it goes grubby and tatty after a year!). I just cut out triangles using pinking shears and then sew into wide bias binding. Bit of a cheat way to do it but it's quick and easy.

I do pretty much this, except i make it double sided by sewing two triangles together, right side facing out and then cut with pinking shears along the sewn line.

Thank you for the recommendations, super helpful 🙂

Amazing! Thanks 😊
