Sweet Friday - Bunting, Flag Banners, Garland

Could anything be sweeter than bunting, flag banners, garland?
(Whatever you'd like to call it)...
I completely think not...
I don't know what it is about it but it's just so happy...
Perfect for a Friday...
Here are a few favorites that I spied on Etsy...

Add a little tulle skirt to this...oh my!

Could there be anything more precious?
A cake topper...

How sweet would this be in a little girl's room
hanging on a dresser or mirror...

Talk about a fabulous way to spice up an ordinary cake...
fondant bunting...
I love, love, love this!

And of course my favorite done by Potter & Butler...

Happy Weekend!

Cake Topper Bunting

I love the use of flag bunting at parties...

So when I started to see it used as decorations

on cakes, I was swooning!

But wait...

It gets better...

Nikki from Lovely Scribbles (who is related to Jenna from Eat, Drink, Pretty both of which have cohosted gorgeous parties in the past few weeks) gives us the 411 on how to make them...

Yippee!

Here is her step by step tutorial...

Supplies
1. Color paper
2. Paper cutter and/or scissors
3. Dye cut paper punch in a pattern of your choice
4. 2 wooden skewer sticks
5. White thread
6. Needle
7. Hot glue gun
8. Ribbon


Step 1: Punch each sheet of color paper with the dye cut paper punch and cut out mini flags with the pattern as the bottom of the flag.



Step 2: Double thread the needle with white string to make the stitch more prominent.



Step 3: Once you have the flags strung and placed however far apart you would like them, tie each end of the string around a skewer stick.

Step 4: Take the ribbon and tie into two small bows.

Step 5: With your glue gun, glue each bow on top of where you tied the thread. This will hold the thread on the stick as well as hide the knot.
