Star, Heart & Triangle-shaped bunting sewing instructions
Thank you for downloading Action for M.E.’s bunting bee patterns. If you have any
queries please email our Bunt Bee Coordinator on .uk
and they will get back to you as soon as possible.
IMPORTANT: Please use the templates on page 4at the size provided, as this
will make the bunting easier to post.
For more patterns, see the suggested links on page 3
You could make a group of up to eight pieces to attach to ribbon as bunting, or to
hang as a garland. Or you can make an individual piece and send it to the Bunting
Bee Coordinator to be included in a string of bunting.
Using oddments of fabric or felt draw around your chosen template (see below).
You’ll need two for each star or heart you are making.
If you’re using fabric (not felt) you’ll also need to iron some medium or firm
interfacing onto the back of the piece to make it stiffer and prevent it from fraying.
This can be bought from most craft shops/market stalls or department stores.
Now you can get creative and decorate one side of the heart or star, using buttons,
felt, sequins, beads, embroidery thread (see page 3 for stitching help) or any other
suitable medium. Remember to use ‘flat’ decorations such flat buttons or seed beads
that won’t affect the size of your piece for posting. Avoid dome-shaped buttons or
those with a shank/stalk).
