Don’t forget to reverse the templates.Perfect for a nursery or toddler room, spell out your child’s name…It’s a lovely way to add a little colour and your own personal touch, whether it be in your own child’s bedroom, or a gift for someone specialMaking the bunting…Firstly, decide on the word you are going to create, I made ‘craftcotton’ - so this was 11 stars plus one at each end.I alternated the grey in between each of the two Mints and finished with a ‘white Mickey’ at each end.I required the following:10 stars in grey mickey4 stars in white mickey6 stars in mint with red6 stars in mint with whiteTo make the stars, cut out 26 squares, measuring 9” from the required fabrics, using a heat erasable marker, draw around the star template on 11 of the squares.Take your letter templates and draw them in reverse onto the fusible interfacing – I found it helped to hold the paper I printed the letters onto, up the window and draw them onto the reverse, cut them out and draw around them.Fuse this onto your white fabric, cut each letter out, and baste onto the stars. Blanket stitch around each letter using the variegated teal threadMatch up the corresponding fabric for each star, with right sides facing out, sew along the markings to create the star, leave one side unsewn. Trim all sides leaving ?” seam allowance with your pinking shears.Stuff the stars with ‘fluff’ and sew along the edge. Trim with pinking shears, leaving ?” seam as before.Once all your stars are complete, lay out your length of binding, and pin each star at regular intervals, tucking one point inside the fold of the binding, sew along the length of the binding, folding the last 2” of each end back on itself ,creating a loop for hanging.Your bunting is ready for hanging…32893003302000Creativeblonde recommends the following;286385016252This Disney star bunting and tutorial has been created by me - creativeblonde.To see more of my tutorials, you can follow my blog creativeblonde.co.uk and/or Instagram page instagram.co.uk/creativeblonde66 and creativeblonde6600This Disney star bunting and tutorial has been created by me - creativeblonde.To see more of my tutorials, you can follow my blog creativeblonde.co.uk and/or Instagram page instagram.co.uk/creativeblonde66 and creativeblonde66Retailer for the Disney fabrics and other fabrics needed to complete this projectStockist for Gutermann threads Gutermann@stockistenquiries.co.ukThanks for reading from x creativeblonde x ................
