Display ideas at the end of the tutorial.

• stiff paper for rosettes
• red & green paper for the strawberries
• red & green paper for the bunting flags
• adhesive(s) for the strawberries
• ribbon or string (for securing the rosettes)
• twine
• hole punch
• scissors (& maybe a pencil with an eraser)
• optional: cutting machine & accessories (such as Cricut...I used the "Simply Charmed" & "Ribbons & Rosettes" cartridges

Make your rosettes.

The written directions are below, but this video on The Fisch Life IGTV channel might help too.

• I used a Cricut to cut out the pieces, but you could also cut them out by hand. Don't rush out & buy one just for this.
• If you end up with different sizes like I did (I wanted to get use out of the paper & there wasn't quite enough on the sheet, plus I guess I input different sizes), don't worry! You fix it.
• If your design has little holes, save those holes as coordinating confetti for the party! You can also cut small pieces form little scraps.
• Fold the pieces accordion-style.
• Glue the pieces together in a strip. Here's where it gets fixed if you have different sized pieces. Just line up the outside/top/decorative edges when you glue them together. The center is getting covered with a strawberry, so it's ok if that part's uneven.
• Hole punch some of the inside/bottom folds & thread the ribbon or string through them.
• Glue the beginning & end of the rosette together to make it into a circle shape.
• Tighten & tie the ribbon in the back. You might need to add extra holes &/or ribbon.

Now to the bunting/garland part!

• Cut out your bunting triangles. I used some that were already triangle-shaped & just tore them out of the booklet. Consider looking through Christmas packets; you might find some red, green, &/or white patterns that aren't Christmas-specific.
• Punch a hole in each of the "top" corners of triangles. I used a heart-shaped hole punch, because that's what was convenient. :)
• Don't forget to save the punched out holes for confetti!
• Decide how you want the bunting to be laid out.
• Thread the twine through the holes, adjusting as necessary.

There might be some instructions in this part that are a little confusing. This video might help or feel free to ask questions in the comments section of this tutorial.

Now all that's left to do is display you decoration!

Here are some ideas:

• on a wall, with a rosette at each end of the bunting
• on a corkboard
• in a tree or bush
• on the front of the dessert table
• in a photo booth

How would you display this bunting?
