Decorate with this ridiculously easy, cheap and festive DIY party bunting. Sylvia turns two this month, and the week leading up to her birthday, she talked non-stop about her party: the people who were coming and all the ‘treats’ she was going to eat. I wanted to decorate the house to help make her party special and festive, but I didn’t want to spend $$ on decorations that we may never use again. We have a colorful paper stash in my blog room that I use for projects + Sylvie colors on. I have a love/hate with ‘stashes’. I love having materials on hand to craft–or in Sylvie’s case play with–but stashes also just seem to take up space in our small house.

We were scrambling for something to hang above my desk, so I bought a cheap cork board off Amazon and 1 yard of linen fabric from the fabric store, and my intent was just to throw something together as fast as humanly possible. It actually turned out pretty great, so I ended up using it on the 2nd shoot as well. Want to know I made this bad boy in 10 minutes? Don’t blink because you might miss this tutorial! Just kidding, I’m going to break out the steps pretty detailed so you have all the info. Just read through everything and then get to work on your own. You’ll have it done faster than you can make a croque monsieur. Materials: 23″x 35″ Cork Board 1 yard of Linen fabric Heavy duty staple gun + Staples Scissors Lay your fabric face down on the ground and lay the cork board face down on top of it. Cut the linen down so it’s about 3″ larger on all sides. Pick a side, and begin stapling the linen to the backside […]
