DIY: Bunting – Easy as 1 2 3


This DIY: Bunting tutorial is as easy as 1 2 3. 
Step 1: Cut your laced burlap into triangles. You can make these as big or as small as you want. If you are getting uneven triangles try cutting a square of your burlap and then trim either side to make a triangle. Also you can cut as many triangle as you would like. I cut 8 and then ended up using only 7 because I liked the uneven look. It’s totally up to you. 
Step 2: Add a line of hot glue to the flat edge of your triangle (This would be the bottom of the triangle). Make sure you add this to the back of the triangle as well so that the twine doesn’t show when you hang it up.  
This is pictured below.

Step 3: Place your twine onto the hot glue. I usually let the glue cool just a second before I add the twine so that it sticks really good. I measured about an inch and a half between my triangles. You could also place them right next to each other if you are going for a more traditional look. 

Ta-Da! 

Bunting simple as 1 2 3! Enjoy. If you use this tutorial and want to share your project tag us on Instagram or Twitter at #KRoseStudioAtHome !

Hello, bear Project Challenge

Bonnie from Going Home to Roost hosted an awesome project challenge. 
Basically all you need to do to enter is use her fabric from the hello, bear collection. 

I work with a wonderful woman Heather who is the creator of Graceful Marilyn. 
She makes these beautiful self-binding blankets so I asked her to teach me how to make one for this project challenge. 

I purchased 1 yard of Oh, Hello Meadow and 1 1/2 yards of Wildwood Nectar from A Stitch in Time. 
Heather usually makes these blankets with flannel so I also purchased 40″ of batting so that my blanket would be thicker.

Now here are some interesting facts about me. Both my grandmothers were gifted seamstresses. 
My grandma Ruth made all of our barbie doll clothes that we used to play with. 
My grandma Kay sewed wedding dresses, brides made dresses 
and even my halloween costume which was a wedding dress when I was 9. 
My mom is also a very talented sewer. 
She can follow a pattern and sew anything. 
Now me on the other hand. I’m very impatient when it comes to sewing. I don’t know if it’s because I’m an artist or just an impatient person but most of the time I decide to just create my own pattern and nothing ever turns out right. 
Heather worked with me and I am very proud to say that my self-bound blanket turned out better than I ever imagined. 
The top stitch that we decided to use to finish off the project is what ties the whole project together. 
I hope you enjoy the photos of the process and the finished project. 
Don’t forget to check out Going Home to Roost for all the project details and other projects people created. 


Ta-Da the finished project ladies and gentlemen. 
I absolutely love this blanket. 
Thank you so much Heather for making this project very fun and understandable.
Also I want to thank Bonnie for hosting such a fun challenge! 
I hope you all enjoyed the photos and have a lovely Thursday.
