These bunting cards are such a simple and satisfying way to use up scraps and give you (I think, anyway) a spettacolare result for very little effort. Si, spettacolarissimmo.
I have posted a step-by-step tutorial with photos on how to make these cards and some other related ideas over on the fabulous Giver’s Log blog.
I’ve been a subscriber to Giver’s Log for about 6 months now and love it. My absolute favourite thing is Happy Mail. This is a series where Amber-Lee, the site’s main author, slaps a stamp or two on an object and rather than packaging it, sends it just as it is. She’s popped postage stamps on rubber balls, thongs, plastic bottles, buckets and spades and then she just mails them off. It is SUCH a cute idea and can you imagine how very thrilled the recipients are? I would almost wet my pants I think. Then again, I have given birth to two children so that’s not the far-off possibility it once was.
Where was I?
Ah yes, Giver’s Log. You’ll also find sweet printables (including my most favourite Christmas tag EVER) to download, fab DIYand pretty packaging ideas, gift guides, recipes and a general plethora of loveliness. Not to mention a spectacolare tutorial on how to make fabric bunting cards!
You might think they’re paying me to say all this. But they’re not. In fact, it’s kinda the opposite. I am sponsoring the site for the next three months (which means I pay a fee to advertise on the side-bar there). I just wanted to make it really clear that that’s the only financial transaction between us. They posted my tutorial because they’re lovely and I’m talking them up now and sending you over there because I’d like you to see my tutorial but also because I genuinely think they rock.
Gawd, you can’t half tell I once spent my life making sure documents were unambiguous and watertight. One day I might get over my overwhelming need to insert fine print that covers off every possible objection to anything. Anywhere. Ever. It will take years of therapy though, I think.
Anyway, I just felt I should tell you. Sigh.
Go and check out Giver’s Log. I think if you like some of the ideas you find here, you’ll like lots of what’s there.

Caitlin – your comment has just brightened up an otherwise pretty yukky day for me! Thank you. I’m delighted to hear from you and glad you found me through Giver’s Log. Welcome!
Dearest, a cushion with lots of small print embrodiered or stamped on it is in your future! xx
You mean you’re going to make me one? Awesome.

Thanks Jami – glad you liked ’em.
I do like your blog very much, I have just found it recently, very funny, I liked the one about fabric confetti. I also thought you might be interested in this post I have found about artists and their original ideas. Your post about the cake bunting made me think about it. Maybe you have seen it before
