Personalisation
We added the name of our group to our bunting by drawing out letters onto plain calico fabric, and patterned them using fabric pens.
Fabric and permanent markers are ideal for jazzing up plain fabric
Adding glue to the back of a letter
We simply used Bostik Glue spread right to the edge of our letters to stick our letters onto our bunting triangles
The knockdown Group completed theirs in 2 hours!
