Bunting for the Green Patch Spring Fete Part 1

Sue at The Green Patch asked if we might be able to help create lots of bunting for the Green Patch Spring Fete so Carole showed us how to use glittery fabric paint, rollers, stamps and brushes to create our own lengths of fabric.

Once dry and ironed the fabric was cut into pennant shapes

ready to be sewn into lengths of bunting.

Our lovely Michelle made a beautiful crochet and appliqued line of bunting with letters spelling out The Green Patch and adorned with gardening inspired buttons. Here are Abby, Brendan and Holly proudly holding it out for us to see. Wonderful work!

A Birthday Bunting Challenge!

Up-cycling is part of the Remake Remodel strand of our current A4A project. Having been inspired by her own attempt to help Compton Verney create the world's longest line of paper bunting artist Carole Miles went across to Corby for us to work with the Stevie way art Group. 

They used an old wallpaper sample book and some of Carole's collection of rubber stamps to create 100 pieces of bunting to add to the line forming at Compton Verney.
