No Sew Christmas Bunting.
Start off with a wide-ish Christmas card from last year. About 12cm wide.
Cut front of card away from back.
Mark centre of card front on the back of bottom end. (The top of illustration should be at the widest end of your piece).
Rule a line from this mark to both top corners.
Cut.
Once again rule a line on smaller pieces from bottom corner of triangle to centre of cut edge.
Cut along this drawn line and you should now have five pieces as shown above.
Form a 'crown' shape with the longest narrowest strips and use staples to hold together.
There are two of these shapes.
One will be a napkin holder, the other a place card.
Punch circle from backs of cards, write names on circles and staple to upturned 'crown' to form a place card.
Repeat the above until the required amount is achieved.
Use the back of the card for notes, shopping lists, etcetera.
To complete the bunting staple the bunting shaped cards to a strip of ribbon. Alternate between the large and small shapes.
Use whatever ribbon you have on hand that might be suitable.
I used gold ribbon left over from last year's gifts for the above bunting.
For my larger bunting I used some cotton tape that I'd purchased from the op-shop with a whole lot of haberdashery.
If you wish add lots of glitter by outline edges with glitter glue.
