Need to make some bunting for ds1's birthday party, so many websites & so many different sizes!
What size have you guys made? It's for inside, mostly against the wall so only one sided.

mine are roughly 25cm on the 2 longer sides - and still hanging in our lounge after the weekends party - size was literally just the size of my leftover fabric, not scientific - I don't think it really matters that much.

Have you thought of using pinking shears instead of hemming the triangles? SO much quicker I just cut a zig zag out of a strip IYKWIM so no wastage

I don't have linking shears but will put those on the to buy list :mrgreen: . I ended up overlocking them in a similar colored thread. Will post pics when they are hanging up.
