DIY Fall Bunting: An Easy Way to Add Seasonal Color to Your Home

This easy project can be completed in an hour or less

By North Fort Worth Macaroni Kid October 13, 2023

I am starting to decorate for fall and bunting is one of my favorite do-it-yourself home decorations to make. Bunting is so easy to make and lasts all fall because it is not Halloween or Thanksgiving specific. It is also incredibly inexpensive and the supplies are simple. You can make this bunting project in under an hour with just a few items!



Materials:

  • 35 strips of fabric (About 1 yard of fabric total) 1/4 X 12 inches
  • 5 1/2 feet of string (or length needed for the space)
  • scissors
  • measuring tape


Directions:

  1. Find three to seven pieces of fabric that look good together. Use at least three colors. I used seven. I would use an odd number of fabrics because odd numbers are more aesthetically pleasing. You want colors that will blend into each other and not have one color that stands out.
  2. Cut the fabric into 35 strips total that are 1 1/4 inches-by-12 inches.
  3. Cut a piece of string to fit your space. 
  4. Take the strips of fabric and tie them onto the string, alternating colors until they are all on. Then space them out so they are close together in even increments.
  5. Hang on a bookshelf, mirror, or anywhere you are looking for a little extra fall decor!


That's it! Bunting really is so simple and it's a fun way to add a little fall color to your home without spending a lot of time or money. Happy fall!
