Bee happy .... make some pretty vintage style bunting

I bought some handkerchiefs recently and decided to make some vintage style bunting with them.
 
 
I cut each hanky in half diagonally and then folded in half again and stitched along one side.
 
I folded this back out and pressed it with the iron.

 
I then found some tape for along the top and folded this in half over the long edge of each hanky.


When I slotted the hanky in between the tape I also chose some laces and ribbons and pinned each section as I went along

 
Finished bunting pictures coming soon.

  3. Delightful handkerchiefs, Deb! I'm excited to see the upcoming bunting photographs.

    I do so like hankies, and I will keep a look out for them because I'd like to start using them again.

    Blessings for a creative day,
    Marianne xo
