Decorating with bunting and garland is a cheap and simple way to add a splash of color to your home. Whether you make it yourself or purchase it from a shop on Etsy, it's guaranteed to wake up your space. Homemade garlands are sentimental and customizable. And the color options and combinations that can be created are endless.
The bunting trend took off with abandon several years ago, with the traditional flag-shaped pennant garland. Since then countless creative variations have been crafted using everything from book pages to mirrors. I promise you will be equally surprised and pleased by the classicality and whimsy of the 13 garland and bunting examples I've rounded up for you.
Which design has you reaching for your scissors and getting your DIY on?

| No-sew fabric bunting looks fabulous hung above a sunny window. You simply need an iron; yarn, jute or string; fabric scraps; scissors and some Heat n Bond. |

Felt polka dot garland is easy to make yourself. Using a circle template, cut sheets of felt into as many 2½-inch circles as you desire. Then simply line the circles up and sew them down the middle using invisible thread. Voilà!

Get extra crafty and create a string of garland using the pages from a book. For an added wow factor use an X-Acto knife to cut out the letters of your favorite word, name or saying.
