Mother's Day bunting greetings cards

So here is an idea that I sneakily took inspiration from the AllAboutYou website for:


It is a simple greetings card made from a white A4 piece of card folded in half with fabric bunting glued/stitched on to give a spring-like, celebratory feeling.

I began by sorting through my scrap material collection and picking out coloured bits small enough not to be used for anything else more substantial, but large enough to cut out uniform triangle shapes using a cardboard template:



I then lightly glued six contrasting triangles onto a folded piece of white A4 card, corner to corner, in the shape of celebratory bunting hung up in a row.

When this was 100% dry, I used the sewing machine to sew a running stitch across the top of the bunting triangles, where string would be hanging them up in reality:


Your card is now ready to be written and sent to your mum! Or, if you make more than one, it's a fun idea to tie a set of cards together with some string or ribbon and give them as a gift - on this Sunday or any other time of the year!



Love you mummy!
