no sew, no-adhesive bunting

thought i would share with y'all how i put together the bunting for my daughter's second birthday party (seen here and here)...



SUPPLIES
8x8 paper pad, brights
t-pins
sugar'n cream yarn
x-acto knife



THE HOW TO
01. cut paper in half so you have 4x8 strips. fold your 4x8 strips in half again so you have 4x4 squares. how many will you need? it depends on the amount of space you need to cover.



02. hang yarn. start by tying a knot at one end.



stick a t-pin through the knot and anchor it to the wall.



unravel the rest of your yarn and drape to the next anchor point. tie another knot. use a t-pin to anchor again. i really winged this part and used the chandelier as a center anchor. you may or may not have a center anchor.

03. place 4x4 squares at even increments (i visually guesstimated) along anchored yarn. you might notice that you'll have to adjust the yarn tension once the 4x4s are in place - they weigh it down some.

and, voila, you're done! no sew, no adhesive bunting!
