DIY Bunting

Last week I decided to make myself a bit of signage for my markets with some DIY handwritten bunting! I had seen some lovely "Thanksgiving" bunting written on old book pages and came up with the idea. Signage for markets can always be tricky as all tables are different sizes, spaces around them can vary, and you don't want to take away from your display. So I thought bunting for making myself something that could be versatile in both size and display.

Here are the easy steps to create your own bunting! It makes a great accessory for the holiday season, birthday parties or maybe even your own market stall!

1. Find what you're going to write on (I used Newsprint - found at most art stores)
2. Pick a typeface you like for your word.
3. Make sure you print at a size that will work well for the end piece of your paper (and to print all letters needed!)
4. Find a bright window to use as a light box and start tracing!
5. Measure the center of the page and then draw with pencil two diagonal lines to the bottom corners
6. With a sharp box cutter and metal ruler, follow the pencil line.
7. Adhere your new beautiful flags to ribbon of choice! (I used hemp twine and stuck them on with washi tape)

Enjoy! x

Weekly Roundup - 2 November

Well who can believe that November is already here and there are only two more months in 2012?!  Where did the year go? I hope you all have had a lovely, sunny week - it's sure been a busy one here at Toodles Noodles HQ getting ready for Craft2.0 and The City Market in Wellington this weekend and filling orders along the way. Not to mention, have you seen the reveal of our amazing styled photo shoot in collaboration with the extremely talented All the Frills, Made from Scratch and Coralee from Coralee & Alex? We'll do our own post soon but in the mean time scoot on over to MFS to see her lovely posts! Hope you all have a fantastic weekend and if you're in the Wellington area, we do hope that you pop in to either market and say hello! x 1. These beautiful wedding invitations are designed across the pond in Sydney by Rebecca McGrath and are ready for you to just print - how perfect is that! 2. Anyone else feel like this poster was designed for them? This beautiful piece of work was done by the Design Studio. 3. Originally painted with watercolour on canvas all the way from Portugal by ARMINHO - stunning. 4. As a little girl, my after school treat with my sister and mom was a glass of steamed milk and madeleines. This beautifully photographed image by Erin Nish brings back lots of happy memories. 5. As a San Francisco native my heart holds a special place for art from the Bay Area.  Heath Ceramics has breathtaking work that I make sure to swoon over every time I go home. 6. Feminine beer illustration and a reusable bag, love the combo Oh, Little Rabbit! Have a fantastic weekend everyone! x
