DIY - bunting decorations made easy.

In a previous post I mentioned how I have been commissioned to plan a party and either make and/or purchase all decorations. For unforeseeable reasons the party has been postponed, which actually is all the better for me as most of the decorations I have opted to make myself. It's not long now until the party and I've pretty much got most things under control.

The hostess with the mostest has asked that the decorations have a yellow theme. So I have opted for whites, yellows, oranges etc. So far I have made hanging candles, hanging flower arrangements, paper flowers and I've bought many a lantern. I have to make some more decorations but they won't take long at all.

I promised I'd show you how to make the decorations, so today I bring you a fool-proof way to accomplish bunting (expect to see the other DIY decorations up soon).

Step by step instructions after the jump.

Party planning.

Woo - excitement plus!!!

It is no secret I love everything crafty - and on the top of my list - party decorations. A friend of a friend caught wind of this and has since asked me to be the decorator for an upcoming party she is hosting!

Super exciting. The details I have been given is that it's a late afternoon/dusk garden party which the hostess would like to have a whimsical look. Otherwise, the rest is up to me. Giddy-up.

I have been trawling the internet like a madwoman - trying to remember decorations from parties (like the Vogue or designer parties) we're not lucky enough to attend.

I've got about a month up my sleeve, so have been collecting photos for inspiration (some of my favourites I have attached below for you). I will of course buy some decorations, but this particular lady has seen some of the decorations I have made for other parties and has asked me to make a lot of them as well. The pressure is on!

I will of course keep you updated along the way and will have a post dedicated to the actual party.

Does anyone have suggestions for other pretty ideas?
