Its official: the British love a bit of bunting and there’s
nothing like a royal celebration to bring it out in full force. Wherever you look in cities, towns, small hamlet or out in the wilds, there's bunting fluttering in the
breeze.
It seems that bunting brings out the party animals in all of
us and sums up our summer celebrations. But
don’t panic if you haven’t got your bunting out yet. There’s still time to make
some. It’s really easy and can be very cheap to make if you choose the right materials.You don’t have to buy fancy fabric and spend
hours stitching it perfectly.
The joy of
bunting is that it's fun and free. Just
grab some tape and some old clothes and start cutting.
Better yet, you don’t even have to use fabric or a needle and
cotton. You can make fabulous bunting
from old books, newspapers, even plastic bags stapled to a piece of tape – it really
is that easy.
Even good old
salt dough can be turned into the party
spirit. You could make salt dough into
flags, pennants, roses or even corgis if you felt like.
So what are you making your bunting from?
