Lisa and I planned a quick little photo shoot in the backyard on Tuesday and invited a few friends over. Lisa couldn’t find her fabric banner/bunting she’d stashed away so we had to make a quick version because we wanted it to hang in the background. It turned out so cute and added just the right amount of color:

I know many of you don’t sew and this is an easy way to make a birthday banner or some pretty bunting for a boy or girls room!

Materials needed:
Spray adhesive (acid free)
Liquid Stitch
Variety of fabric for flags
Pinking shears (or regular scissors if you don’t mind a straight edge)
3 yards of 2″ grosgrain ribbon

Here is a template you can use……just resize it depending on the size of banner you want.

For each individual flag, spray a layer of adhesive to the wrong sides of 2 pieces of fabric:

Press the two pieces together flat and trace out your triangle:

Use pinking shears or regular scissors to cut out each flag. Pinking shears will give you the zig zag edge:

Iron your the grosgain ribbon it in half along the entire length:

Using Liquid Stitch, attach each triangle to the bottom half of the ribbon…..

…..alternating colors:

Lastly, apply liquid stitch to the top of the triangles…

…and press the top half of the ribbon closed:

You can easily personalize or spell out a message using spraypaint too! Just cut out your shapes or letters to make a stencil using contac paper or adhesive shelf paper:

Stick the stencil directly onto your triangle flag and spray a thin layer of paint across the top:

Easy and no sewing involved!

Here’s a behind the scenes shot of Lisa photographing Boo. We strung the bunting between 2 ladders in the corner of my backyard:

I was so happy with how both the banner and mini photo shoot turned out! We invited a few friend with older girls over to model some outfits for the spring line.

It’s amazing how much easier it is to shoot a willing model than a toddler! These girls were naturals!

Boo was sulking at first because she didn’t get to wear the purple headband….she informed me that purple is her FAVORITE color:

Once she saw the older girls having fun she changed her mind:

So cute!

Even Diesel was thrown into the mix!

I’ve had so much fun designing a full spring line! More to come this week! Spring line should be in the store on January 24th!

Speaking of designing…are you working on your next big design?
