Summer Bucket List: Bunting Banner

Alright guys, I have been having serious issues with blogger! I tried all last night to get up my bucket list post. It published it to my blog, but it didn’t show up in follower’s feed (I know because I follow myself) and when I checked my icon in other people’s blog rolls, it didn’t show the updated post. What am I doing wrong??? I’m going to try my post one more time.

My next project off my summer bucket list was the bunting banner. I was inspired by Abby’s from The Inspired Apple. I followed her directions almost exactly.

First I gathered my supplies. Here’s what I used:

Fabric in blue, green, yellow and paw prints

Heat-n-bond

White ribbon with blue polka dots

Scissors

Iron

The next step was to cut my triangles. I cut one to be the size I wanted, then used it as a template to cut the rest. Then I put on a marathon of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, because assembly is a lengthy process.

It’s a relatively easy process though. Here’s what you do.

1.  Lay out your ribbon in a straight line WRONG side up.

2. On top of the ribbon lay out the heat-n-bond

3. On top of the heat-n-bond, arrange your triangles WRONG side up, and overlap them just a little bit so that the heat-n-bond isn’t exposed

4. Iron!

And that’s it! Then all you need to do is slide everything over a little and continue down the ribbon until you’re done!

I can’t wait till I can show you pics of my banner hanging in my classroom in August. I’m going to go for the layered look like this one from 2 sisters:

So now my to do list looks more like this:

1. Supply Storage
2. Pendant Banner
3. Curtains
4. Brownie Points Magnetic Board
5. Spend time at the Pool/Beach (this is an ongoing one)

7. Crate Seats for Guided Reading..
8. Listening Center Seats & Storage
9. Sight Word Sticks
10. Door Wreath

I just finished and posted my fall centers, along with an alphabet morning work pack, check them out! 

Check back next week when I share another project :)
