~Delightful DIY Christmas Garland Bunting! :D

Our assignment this time was a Christmas one! It was an awesome warming feeling to come in to our school office and find a heart-warming Christmas display. Our assignment was to make Christmas decoration and ornaments with a gold- silver- white theme. My project was to make the bunting. My partner and I made a simple but outstanding and charming ornament for Garland bunting. In this blog I will show you each step in which we took to end up with a beautiful result. 10850445_1011863335497129_1044778524_n Materials that are required are as follows:

6.This is how it should look with the pine-cone able to fit in your cone – but we haven’t glued it yet!

Step 2:

Here you could choose either to:

  • glitter the pine-cones first then stick them in the cone
  • or stick them in the cone, then glitter them

Now we glue the inside edge of the cone to glue the pine-cone to it
