Button Bunting

This elegant bunting is pretty enough for the bedroom as well as adding a touch of style to your dining room or living room.

Try brass buttons on red fabric for a military feel that’s perfect for a boy’s bedroom. Or how about tassels instead of buttons – or even both – for a hint of decadence? I’ve chosen two different-sized buttons for each pennant and sewn them together for a quirky finishing touch. These instructions make 80in (2m) of bunting.

This is one of my favourite projects, and I've adapted it from my book Sew Bunting so that I can share it with you here.
