How to Make a Draped Bunting
Bunting is made up of a series of flags or decorated pieces of paper that are strung together and draped or hung in a room as a form of decoration. To create the correct amount of bunting the amount of space to be covered should be calculated by measuring the area to be covered with bunting. Bunting can be hung taut between two points or it can be swagged, when the bunting is hung to give the impression it has been draped over a wall or between two objects. Does this Spark an idea?
