a quick little how to ..felt bunting ....


as the UK is festooned with Olympic bunting I fancied a bit of those colourful triangles myself so...a quick little how to make felt bunting...

very easy :) and the felt is quite good for little hands to cut out...


you will need
felt in lovely bright colours
bias binding or cotton tape
sewing machine
scissors

* chop up your felt into many little triangles


* fold over the binding or tape and sew the triangles in between

* leave a cm or so in between

 
* keep going till you run out of triangles :)


you could do the same with squares or circles if you wanted different shaped ones...if you dont have tape or binding you could use ribbon or make your own by cutting strips of fabric

I have started yet another crochet blanket....well, the weather is bobbins and there's the swimming to watch on telly...whats a girl to do :)

happy tuesday
