Start Our Mini Paper Bunting Project With Some Templates
Step One
Begin by resizing and printing the templates above. Tracing the pennant template and transfer it onto thin cardboard. Place the template on the back of your chosen patterned paper and use a pencil to sketch out several pennant shapes. The paper shown here is the reverse side of a sheet of green, red, and gold tartan paper.
Start Making The Pieces For Our Mini Paper Bunting
Step Two
Carefully cut out each individual pennant using small, sharp craft scissors. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all the pieces of patterned paper you wish to use for your bunting. The number of pennants you'll need depends on the length you want to create. Approximately 25 pennants will yield around 1 meter (39 1/4 inches) of bunting, not including extra twine.
Layout Your Mini Paper Bunting In A Nice Design
Step Three
Arrange your pennants in an order that appeals to you.
Glue Your Paper Bunting Together
Step Four
Apply a small amount of PVA glue near the top of each pennant. Carefully place your twine over the glue, ensuring you leave some extra twine at each end for hanging your bunting later. Once the pennants are completely dry, trim off any excess twine.
Congratulations you have the basic idea of how to make mini paper bunting.
The Conclusion Of The Mini Paper Bunting Project
Paper Bunting Tip
If your bunting will be displayed against a wall, leaving it single-sided is perfectly fine. However, if it will be viewed from both sides, simply glue another pennant to the back to sandwich the twine.
