for the little hipster baby boy birthday party display for the paper crepe party supply challenge i revealed to you here
i decided a cake bunting was a must
whether there was a cake or not
here is a quick overview of how to create your own hipster baby first birthday cake bunting
i utilized the SUPPLIES they provided us
bakers twine
aqua ribbon
patterned paper
and added a few elements of my own
bamboo skewers
solid colored paper
styrofoam circle
TASSELS
wrap your baker's twine around a piece of cardboard at least a dozen times
the more wraps, the thicker your tassel
carefully slide the cardboard out whilst holding onto one end of the wrapped twine
wrap another piece of twine around that one end multiple times to create the top and tie off
cut the bottom folds of twine in half
make three tassels
RIBBON
double knot your ribbon around one skewer
then double knot the end to the other skewer
leaving some slack in the center
FEATHERS
cut feathers into varying colors of solid colored paper
i used this set of cut images for my silhouette cameo
the smallest size was perfect for this bunting
you can also trace a pattern or use other die cuts
choose five feathers of varying colors
NUMBER ONE
cut a number one out of your patterned paper
i like how this little guy turned out looking quite fish shaped
like a little brave's fresh catch hanging on the line
TIE ON
carefully tie the ends of your feathers with the baker's twine
begin tying on your tassels and feathers onto the ribbon
i choose to tie the tassels on separately than the feathers
gather your feathers, tassels, and number one in groups of three evenly spaced out along the ribbon
STICKS IN
if you are privileged to actually have a cake and not just a sorry excuse for one
press your skewers into the scrumptious surface of the cake
til candle lighting time
happy bunting making friends
