1. Birthday Bunting - Card

 

A couple of weeks ago, I was browsing through birthday card ideas.

My Mum's birthday was coming up, and I wanted to give her a hand-made card

because I think they mean more when you can see someone put the effort into making it. I came across this, and loved it immediately. I love the bunting as you open it, so decided to make my own. 

 I didnt have any craft card so stuck two pieces of printing paper together, and stuck the ends of the cotton (bunting) between the two sheets before gluing. 

Ingenious, I know ;P

2. Birthday Bunting - Doorway

It was my man's birthday a few months ago, and after seeing this cute idea on Pinterest, I decided to get up early on his birthday and do the same.

I had to make do with the materials I already had, so instead of crape paper,

I cut up and stapled together strips of coloured origami paper,

and then stapled them to the knot of each balloon (be careful, a popping balloon

will wake them up!)

I left the Happy Birthday banner for the front room instead of above the balloons, and once again used origami paper and blue tac. 

There are so many other things I want to try...

although I'm worried a lot of them will end in disaster!

Pinterest Fail makes me laugh so much, it's so funny to see

people finally try some of the far fetched ideas being pinned.
