It's "Get Your DIY On" time again! Each month some of my favorite bloggy buddies and I hold a themed link party challenge and invite YOU to link up all of your favorite projects from that theme! Our theme for April is "Thinking Spring!" Today my lovely co-hostesses and I will be sharing our spring projects, and then on Sunday we're inviting you back to share your best spring stuff at our link up, so don't miss it!

I decided on scrappy spring bunting for my project. I've been wanting to make a fabric scrap banner for a long time now, and this challenge gave me the perfect excuse! Here's what I used to put it together:

Scrappy Spring Bunting at JustAGirlAndHerBlog.com

  • Fabric of choice (I used 5 patterns.)
  • Ribbon
  • Scissors

That's it! It really is SO simple to make! I started out by cutting my fabric into strips. I used fat quarters, so they were 21" long, and I made my strips 2" wide. After all 5 fabric types were cut, I had about 60 strips.

With my strips cut, I began to assemble my banner.

I left the ribbon attached to the spool so I wouldn't have to worry about cutting it to the correct length just yet. I took one of my fabric scraps, folded it in half, and slid it under the ribbon (1). Then I took the two ends of the scrap and pulled them through the loop that was created when I folded the scrap in half (2). I pulled it snug, creating a little knot at the top of my scrap (3). I kept adding scraps in this way, strategically trying to make my pattern appear random (4). I added my scraps until there were none left, and I had my banner (5)! SO easy, people!!

I even hung it myself with a hammer and a level and everything... we're getting serious around here! 😉

        Thanks Abby! I enjoyed completing something I found on pinterest. Although if I were to do it again I would calm down on how many fabrics I used. Your bunting looks so nice and CALM!
