DIY Bunting for Baby's Room

One of the easiest projects I made in preparation for baby was this bunting project. I had leftover fabric from a project I made for baby's room, and thought for a long time before I stumbled upon some bunting in the Pottery Barn Kids catalog - hi, I can make that!

So, I embarked upon a no-sew version.

I gathered my four fabrics, some poster board, scissors, some iron-on bonding tape, ribbon and my trusty glue gun.

First, I used the iron-on bonding to make my fabric double sided. I just folded it in half, really, and bonded it together.

Next, I used my poster board to cut out a triangle shape to my liking, and used this to cut out all of my triangles. I ended up with about 20 triangles per fabric, enough for two strips of bunting (there are two walls available to decorate in baby's room) and a small one for his door. 

After I cut out my triangles, I used the glue gun to glue each piece to the ribbon. I ended up gluing on both sides and folding the ribbon so it looked the same no matter how it got hung up.

Once I finished, Joe helped me hang up the bunting in the baby's safari themed nursery.

I think all the colors worked out so well together!

Once baby was born, I was able to finally put the letters (I found them at Michael's Craft Store and painted them a blue to match the ribbon) on his bunting for the door. We were between Joey and Luca, but as I will tell in a future post, this boy is definitely a Luca!
