Flag up the fact it’s Easter with this pretty bunting

-

You will need

• Black felt tip pen

• Card

• Ruler

• Scissors

• Burlap fabric

• Rabbit stamp (we used a 2in stamp, £8, englishsta­mp.com)

• Versamark black inkpad

• Pink bobble trim for tail

• Craft glue

• 2.5m x 3mm satin ribbon (for 2m of bunting)

• Needle with large eye

To make

❶ For the triangle template, draw a triangle on the card 18cm along the top edge and 16cm from the centre of this line to the tip of the triangle. Draw lines from each end of the top line to the tip of the centre line to create the outline of a triangle. Cut out the shape.

❷ Roll out the length of burlap and draw around the triangle template 2cm in from the top edge of the fabric. Move template along, drawing out the next triangle and so on, leaving a gap of 2cm to link each triangle until you create the length of bunting you desire. Cut around triangles to make the bunting.

❸ Press your well-inked rabbit stamp firmly on to the centre of each triangle to create your bunny pattern.

❹ Cut out pink pompoms from the length of bobble trim. Dab each one with a spot of glue and stick them in place of the rabbit tails on the stamped images. Leave the glue to dry.

❺ Thread the ribbon through the needle and stitch a line of ribbon along the top edge of the bunting with a loose running stitch.
