Bunting, an essential piece of camping kit.

[Fannydabbydozey]

Go on laugh at me but I'm looking for non twee, non country supporting bunting. I saw some last year on ebay that was wonderfully medieval and would have really suited the bell. Now of course I can't bloody find it again.

Anyone seen any decent, non expensive bunting?

Hmm I don't approve of bunting as it gets caught up in my fairy light lines

Hotbot on the preview of this thread in my 'Threads I'm on' it says "Hmm I don't approve of bunting as it gets caught up in my fa..." I couldn't click the link quick enough....

patience, lovely tent ruined by the be-stringed fire hazard. Shame.

And yes, good point, trailing bunting does bear the risk of getting tanked I. Your mothers.

No.

Tangled in your nethers.

I just KNEW you'd be on this thread, Slubber.

Does a klaxon go off...? :o

I get a sharp stabbing pain in my temples and a passing urge to open my bowels.
That's how I know.

OP, I got mine from a place called Sass & Belle and it's lovely patchwork stuff in bold colours and not a fire hazard at ALL , however a quick squizz on their website shows that they've gone a bit pink & twee lately.

There's always this if you want medieval :o www.amazon.co.uk/Medieval-Style-Bunting-Crushed-Velvet/dp/B00DVQVB1W

damn pressed enter too soon - I was about to add that velvet might go a bit musty if it rains. Which would not be nice.

tis solar powered < green camper> Vivi no one sees my fa while camping however my fairy lights can be seen from the moon!,,,,

Jesus. Velveteen bunting.

I made some outdoor bunting out of an alternate mix of:
Old jeans
Old clothes
Silver sparking fabric

No edging or anything needed - just attached it to woven tape.

I looks wicked.

There's satin too... :o :o

love bunting is non twee oxymoron

Hotbot

Anyway enough of this frippery. Here's a taut guy line snap to get moist to...

Glad you like it, that is my smallest set up.

I might be able to find a pic of the big one too, although it is soon to be retired as it isnt as water tight as it used to be.

Sorry for the hi jack OP

I quite fancy adorning the outwell with some Tibetan prayer flags, meaningful bunting

I am also very tempted to make some bunting on my new machine.

Hmm, large tent, pre bunting

This thread has inspired me to ask...
My DS is fundraising to go to the World Scout Jamboree next year. A group of them are going to 4 day festival in a couple of weeks - they get paid to put up peoples tents, and then I think have opportunities to sell stuff / make more money.

Would people at a festival buy bunting?
(I have made it before, so would ensure quality...)

Yes of course festival people would buy bunting how else can they recognise their tents
Of course I am assuming this as I have never wandered into the wrong tent -oh no not me !!
Go for it !!!!!

Yeah great idea, Luvvies!

Great idea luvvies I bet it would sell at a festival

Good on your Ds for fundraising for his trip

Thanks.

I can see them wandering the crowds with it around their necks!

So I should think that distinctive colours would be good - not all the same, to help out those tent wanderers like Hotbot.

Defo different patterns/colours luvvies to help those wandering souls!!

And to brighten the camping mudbath field up
