Bring color into your home with this cheerful and beginner-friendly sewing tutorial for a bunting garland. Whether it’s for a birthday, decorating your child’s room, or adding a splash of color to your terrace in summer this bunting adapts to every occasion.
This colorful DIY is suitable for beginners and advanced sewists alike, and it's also a great opportunity to teach children the basics of sewing through a fun and creative project.
To make your pretty fabric bunting garland, gather:
Download and print the triangle flag template (if you haven’t already), then cut it out.
Trace the triangle template onto your fabric using a fabric pencil or chalk.
You need 2 triangles per flag. For example, if you want 5 flags, cut out 10 triangles.
Place two triangles right sides together and pin along the edges.
Sew along the two long edges of the triangle. Do not sew the base.
Pro tip: Remember to make a few back-and-forth stitches at the beginning and end of your seam to secure it.
Turn the flag right side out through the base opening.
Iron each flag flat:
First, press the seams from the inside
Then, press again from the outside to smooth everything out
Repeat steps 3 to 6 for every flag you want to include in your garland.
Place the first flag 20 cm from the beginning of the bias tape.
Then, space the other flags evenly, leaving 2 cm between each.
Fold the bias tape in half over the top of the flags and pin as you go to hold everything in place.
Start by sewing the ends of the bias tape closed. Fold the tape in half and sew back and forth a few times to secure it.
Sew along the entire length of the bias tape, about 2 mm from the edge, to attach both the flags and the tape together in one go.
Once you reach the end of the garland, finish the bias tape like you did at the beginning (see step 10).
Give your entire bunting a final press with the iron to flatten everything nicely.
That’s it you’ve completed your colorful fabric garland!
