DIY Upcycled Easter Egg Bunting

Recently, I've been making an effort to experiment with materials I have on hand.   I've been playing around with paperboard - mainly because I drink a LOT of soda water and go through a TON of paperboard boxes.  I started by creating an illustration using paperboard cutouts and fabric.  I had so much fun with it, there will certainly be more of those to come.   It is truly amazing what you can do with so little - I love that.  Working on the illustrations inspired me to create these little egg cutouts - fun!

Create this sweet little Easter DIY bunting using recycled paperboard and bits of fabric and trim.  It's very easy to do and looks super cute.  I guest blogged the tutorial over at Poppytalk.  I'm so honored and excited to be posting there.  Have fun creating your own!  Or, if you want to buy this one, you can.Look at how much fun it is to pick out each egg's design - endless variation. Go check out the how-to at Poppytalk - you'll be glad you did.

  4. BEAUTIFUL! Sorry to shout, but I love this. I love upcycling and your fabric is so pretty. Makes me want to learn to sew or at least stop hating it.
