Memorial Day weekend is here! Wa-hoo! Have you been getting into the spirit of the holiday with patriotic crafts? I did! I created a quick and easy patriotic bunting but I used red, white, and blue in a more subtle way. This way, it doesn’t scream “FLAG!” and I can use it throughout the summer!
I selected fabrics my fabrics and created a triangle template from cardboard. Then I traced each piece and cut each pennant with pinking shears.
I cut a long strip of fabric about an inch wide. I folded 1/2 ” in on each side and pressed it down.
Then I folded it longways in the middle and pressed it again.
I pinned each triangle inside the fold of the fabric strip and then ran it straight through my sewing machine. It was that easy!
I love that it is red, white, and blue…festive!
I purchased these fabrics for this bunting project but wouldn’t this be a great way to get rid of some scrap fabric?
I hope your weekend is great! And thank you to all who serve in our armed forces! You inspire us all!
Thanks for visiting! Hope to see you at Days of Chalk and Chocolate! You can also follow me these ways:
