We decided to decorate our three wedding cakes with mini bunting, so I set about making some to use.
Materials
Colourful / Flowery Fabric
Waxy Thread
Needle & Thread
Pinking Shears
Wooden Skewers
I cut out fabric triangles using pinking shears. For the two 12″ cakes I’m using 14″” of thread and 6 flags and for the smaller 10″ cake I’m using 12″ of thread and 5 flags, so it will hang right.
Lay out at least 16″ of thread and sew a mixture of inch wide triangles with small gap in between.
Once you have a string of bunting, tie to the skewers at the top and they are ready to be stuck in the cake. The bunting looked really great on the cakes, I will attach more photos soon.
Some extra photos of the final pieces can be found on my good friend/photographer’s blog here;
