make a mark two inches from the bottom on the fold
lay your cutting ruler diagonally from the opposite bottom corner (with two raw edge corners) to the mark on the fold
cut with your rotary cutter
sew around the edges of the five flags twice to keep the burlap from unraveling
applique maple leaves to the bunting using fusible web following the instructions on the fusible, make sure the leaf stem is centered over the peak of the cut you made when the burlap was folded
straight stitch around the edges of the leaves about 1/8" from the edge to secure them
take a three yard piece of twill tape, find the center and sew it to the top of a flag
evenly space out the other four flags on either side and sew to the twill tape (sew two lines of stitches to be on the safe side)
hang your bunting and enjoy! Happy Canada Day!
Close ups of some of the flags on my bunting.
Use all different red prints to make it interesting and fun to look at. :)
