Bunting Supplies

Polished Hemp Cord

1″ Wooden Stars

Colored Beads

Polyfill

Steps to Making the Bunting

Cut out the trees double layer from the fabric you have chosen for your trees. I used green chenille because I like the lines of fur that look like branches.
Sew the trees together, 2 pieces for each tree, wrong side to wrong side with a small machine stitch
Make a slit in the back for stuffing
Stuff the tree lightly with polyfill being careful not to distort the tree
Stitch up the back of the tree
Repeat this process on all of your trees

Assembling the Shabby Christmas Tree Bunting

I made my bunting 48″ and placed the trees 6″ apart with the 2 beads in between each tree and one bead at the end knot. I used 12″ at each end to tie a loop knot.
Thread all the beads on first. 2 in between each tree and 1 on each end
Tie the loop knots on each end and push a bead up to the knot trying to get both threads in the bead.
Paint the stars if desired
Mark your spaces for your tree with a marker, don’t worry it will be covered by the star.
Space the beads in between the marks
Sew the trees at the marks
Glue the stars over the sewing on top of the trees
Use a dot of hot glue to secure the beads I put a little between the beads and then push them together
Hang your bunting and enjoy a little bit of homespun handcrafted holiday decor
