People around my neighbourhood have been displaying rainbows to cheer up kids (and adults) on their walks around during these Covid-19 social distancing times in Australia. I was going to draw one, but then I thought…Hey?! Why not work in a medium I’m really comfortable with.
When I make bunting I use a layer of interfacing between the front and back to make it nice and sturdy. I did a plain white backing so that the colours would still show through while it’s hanging in my craft studio window, it’s so cheery to look at. I cut my triangles 8 inches across the top, and they are 8 inches tall. I made the whole thing out of supplies I had at home, I even made the white bias binding from some quilting cotton.
Thank goodness for crafting at this time Sending love to all the crafters out there over the world xx
In my sewing group we make name bunting when people have babies! It’s always fun to do.
In my neighbourhood people put stuffed animals in their windows. We don’t have front yards, our windows directly face the street. Just yesterday a little girl was standing with her nose to our window, staring at the stuffed dog on the windowsill. She was standing there for quite a long time, so Mr. Imma waved at her, which startled her and she ran away. Hopefully she’s not thinking we’re mad at her for staring!
What a great idea! The kiddos and I drew rainbows for their window. I also crocheted a little rainbow which a little bear, who is sitting on window sill in our kitchen, holds in his hands. It’s so much fun for the kids to go rainbow hunting every now and then
Ooh, I like those a bunch! I think I’ll add a rainbow window bunting to my list of must-do crafts for this week. I haven’t seen many window items in our neighbourhood & I’m not sure how to get the word out but I’m thinking about it!
