Lawn and Garden Shower - Part 2: Easy Bunting How-To

Brandon and Monique are getting married in August. :-)

Brandon is offspring #3 of our 6 children.

Sunday, June 22 we had a shower for the lovely Monique.

I will post a series of posts about the shower.

Today's post is about the:

BUNTING

I made a super easy bunting decoration from 12 x 12 scrapbook pages

that read:

MONIQUE (heart) BRANDON

and here's how it was done:

Fold paper in half,

then half again,

and one more time.

Cut diagonally from this corner of two closed folds;

can you see it better here?

You'll get two connected triangles and two not-connected triangles from each sheet. 

You can tape the not connected ones together if you choose.

They should look like this.

Make a heart, too.

With the Handy-Dandy Cricket I made the letters of each name;

bride and groom to-be.

Place one letter on each "triangle"

With ribbon of choice, glue ribbon between two sheets on the fold.

Space each letter about an inch apart.

(I suppose I could have ironed out the creases,

but they were not so apparent in real life. ;-) )

I did not get a good photo of the finished bunting due to the light.

There was a lot of curly ribbon on each side with coral colored roses hanging from the ribbon at different lengths.

It was super easy and a lot of fun to make!

The kiddos were delighted. :-)
