The Easiest Way to Make Christmas Bunting

I tend to go through phases with my crafting. For a while I'll be on a paint kick. Then I'll move on to paper crafts. Then I'll start using fabric in all of my projects. (As long as I don't have to sew it...) Right now I'm in a Silhouette phase. Man, I love that thing! So imagine my delight, then, when I figured out that I could use it to make the cutest little bunting banners that you ever did see-- yippee!

I love a good bunting banner, but they can be kind of tedious to make. You have to cut all the pieces, then you have to string them all with a needle and thread, which takes forever. I always wished there was a quicker way, and now there is! Here's what I used to make it:

  • Scrapbook Paper
  • Double Sided Tape
  • Thread
  • Silhouette + Cutting Mat (If you don't have a Silhouette-- aka the best crafting tool ever-- yet, you should go enter my giveaway and win one of your very own!)
  • Helpful Little Person (Optional; A helpful grown up person would also work; I just happened to have a little person handy. 🙂 )

So I was perusing the Silhouette Design Store the other day when I came upon these Pennant Banner Flags which would become my new secret weapon for making bunting banners.

I just downloaded the design (which was only $0.50 since everything is half off right now...woot!) and opened it up in my Silhouette Studio software.

From there I just placed a piece of card stock on my mat, and my machine started cutting away! (If you are attempting this project, I used the normal card stock settings of speed 3, thickness 33, and blade 4.) Once everything was cut and I had weeded away the excess, I was left with a bunch of these diamond shapes.

So in order to get my little triangles for my bunting, I would have to fold these in half, which happens to be super easy because the Silhouette made little perforation marks for me where I needed to fold them. Mind. Blown. It was so easy, in fact, that I enlisted a little five-year-old helper to do my folding for me. #childlaboratitsfinest 🙂

While Con was working on that, I unwound some of the thread and started attaching my triangles, using a small piece of double sided tape to hold them together.

And that's it! Connor and I whipped these up in just a few minutes, and all without any tedious cutting or threading with a needle. Woohoo! And now I want to make them for every room in my house! 🙂

    This is so cool, Abby! Even cooler, because I just ordered a Silhouette during the Black Friday sale. Yeah! So, of course I have been pinning ALL of your awesome Silhouette tutorials.

    Abby,

    These are adorable! I'm also a big fan of bunting and banners. And all I want for Christmas is a Silhouette! I've fallen in love with this thing just by reading about the projects you've made with it.

    Thanks for the creative inspiration,

    Tiffany
