Happy Easter Bunting – previewing a brand new design

Happy Easter Banner - 1 - Easter 2010

Easter preparations are continuing here at the house and it’s given me the chance to get focused at my desk and begin work on some new paper designs.  This egg shaped bunting reading “Happy Easter” is my latest piece and is currently hanging above the AGA.

Each letter was printed out on to A4 card and then cut out in to egg shapes using the coloured border as a guide.

All I needed to do then was to pop two small holes in to the top of each egg and thread some ribbon through them. When the egg shaped letters had been threaded on to the ribbon I spaced them out equally but left a slightly larger space between the two words to make it easier to read.

I used pink gingham to thread as it’s so ‘Eastery’

Although this bunting won’t be on display in the house for very long it will be easy to fold it up neatly, pack it flat and store it away for next year.

I hope you like this work in progress. There are several designs for all sorts of goodies floating about at the moment and along with the spring bulbs and the babies in my belly all sorts of things are hatching and growing.

Spring, I love it because it brings so many new adventures in to our lives.

Robert the Husband and I have a scan today which means we get to see The Meatballs. This is always nice and we only have two more official scans scheduled before the birth. Has that come around fast or what??????

It has now I look back on it, although there is still a certain amount of growing to be done by the two of them and room is getting scarce in there.

I’ll fill you you all in tomorrow with the latest entry in my Twin Pregnancy Diary, until then have a wonderful Wednesday.

    I know this is an old post – but i wondered if you had any tips on printing onto card? (i see thats how you printed your letters) I make handmade cards and cannot get my printer to print directly onto card :-(

      Hello there!
      I used quite a thin card. Stiff enough to be sturdy but thin enough to go through my printer. I hope that helps. Cx
