Fall is here. I love fall season. The air, the weather and of course the pumpkins. Give me bread or cake or cookies or chai...just about anything with pumpkin spice flavor in it and I will happily savor it. I also love fall crafts( any crafts for that matter ). Buntings, wreaths, mantle decorations. It is so much fun to change/update decor as seasons change. So I decided to make an easy fall bunting. Given the pandemic all I had was cardstock in my craft supply basket . So decided to put my creativity and the Cricut machine to use. And this is what I came up with.
Materials -
Cardstock paper -beige, orange, red, green, black
Orange ribbon
Glue stick
Scissors
Cricut Explore Air 2 (optional to use it )
Step by step instructions -
1. Cut the bunting pattern. Here i went with a basic triangle shape.
2. Cut the fall leaf shapes in various colors and patterns
3. Cut the alphabets F-A-L-L
4. Glue the letters to the triangles using the glue stick
5. Add the triangles to the ribbon. I used a hot glue gun for this
6. Add the fall leaves in between the triangles in a pattern you like
7. Cut the ribbon to desired length once all the decor pieces are added
Tips-
1. You can change the banner shape to any pattern you like
2. Feel free to write or stencil the letters onto the bunting instead of using pre-cut paper letters
3.You can add pumpkin or acorn shapes instead of the leaves or along with the leaves
Paint/write/draw/cut/stencil...use your imagination any any materials you have at hand . So what are your ideas to make a bunting ?
