template
​
Download, print out and cut around our free bunting template – choose borderless printing so they’re all the same size.
​
Cutting out
Step 1
Download, print out and cut around our free bunting template above – choose borderless printing so they’re all the same size.
Step 2
Carefully draw around the paper template onto some card and cut out (this will make a stronger template that can be used over and over again).
Step 3
Using the template draw (on the wrong side of the fabrics) and cut out enough flags for the front and back of the bunting (two for each flag, one design for the front and a different design for the back).
Step 4
With right sides facing pin together a front and back for each flag.
​
Stitching the flags
Step 1
Using a ¼ inch seam and backstitching at the beginning & end (to secure stitches) sew along the two long sides of each flag (leave the top seam open) and snip the threads.
Step 2
Take out the pins and snip a little off the point to reduce bulk (do not cut too near the stitches).
Step 3
Turn the flags right way out, carefully poke out the point and press flat. Repeat this process to make the other flags.
