Hey friends!
Summer is here.
My favorite time of year.
So to celebrate,
today I'm making a Flag bunting.
I knew I had to make one
the other day when I received
this email from Pottery Barn.
So festive and summery!
So here are the details
on how to "get the look".
Cut 2 pieces of yard canvas 12" x 36".
(canvas purchased by the yard on a bolt)
(two pieces makes it easier to manage
but if you don't want to stitch seams later,
cut one long piece 12" x 72")
Press.
Mark with chalk every 2".
Fold 2" accordion pleats
the entire length of the canvas.
Cut one end at an angle.
Using a 1/2" guide,
pencil in a chevron pattern
near the cut edge.
You can use tape
or just paint along the pencil lines
using navy blue.
Mark the other stripe placement
and paint.
Use a cloth over top of paint
and heat set with the iron.
Mix instant tea with water
and brush on entire canvas.
I top stitched some of the stripes.
Then fold and press.
Stitch the two pieces
right sides together.
Hot glue each pleat near center.
Hand stitch on back.
Put hot glue in the center.
Add grommet.
Now you have patriotic wall art!
In this picture I have it hanging
on the Barnwood Backdrop.
It would be fun to have
different patterns and sizes
to hang in a group.
I hope your summer is off to a great start,
Deb

You thought of every last detail Deb! It looks almost exactly like the original, but I like yours better because it's hand made. It also has your particular style of painting, which I'm beginning to be able to recognize. :) I could see this idea being used in so many ways for so many seasons. And I love it on that Barnwood Backdrop (still one of my favorite projects of yours). Well done!

Absolutely fabulous Deb! What a great piece for the summer too!
Great job....It's as nice as the Pottery Barn version! Love that you used the gromet to hang it, too....Very professional detail!

So fantastic--I was thinking of making one yesterday out of paper for my front door. Decided the paper was too flimsy so made a wood star instead. Love the canvas for a much more permanent one! Going to share on Facebook!
Another fantastic project! Love the bunting. And your creativity.

I love these! I saw them in the store awhile back and wondered how they were able to get the burlap so stiff. I hope I have time to make some using your tutorial before the 4th, if not, I'll be pinning it for next year! Thanks for sharing!

Pottery Barn ain't got nothing on you :)
Have a blessed and wonderful day!!
