Hi folks, i'm contunuing the rustic Christmas theme with some applique banners this week, looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
Rustic Christmas Banners
I started out with the holly and leaf design pictured at the top of the post. Sometimes the simplest ideas are the most effective aren't they, the polka dot linen holly and bright red applique berries against the textured hessian really capture Christmas for me :)
This set of bunting is priced £10.99 and is available now from my website and Etsy shop, as is the leaping deer set i made next...
I love a bit of tartan at Christmas, perhaps its my Scottish roots :)
The final set is a little bit different, the flags are the same size at the others (18cms from base to point) but this time there are nine of them. Each has an applique snowman in white organic cotton canvas with a letter stitched to the centre - all together they spell out 'let it snow'.
I've added bobble hats for a bit of fun and i rather like the cheeriness of this set.

Oooh what a fabulous assortment of Christmas bunting, I particularly like the more traditional style of the first one, but then again I like the snowmen in 'Let it Snow'!! Oooh now I can't decide, I like the reindeer too!

Delete"INSPIRING"! - I had "wanted" to do some Bunting myself THIS year for my Craft Sales, but REAL-LIFE and OTHER "Products" got in the way... Perhaps NEXT year..? However, it's always GREAT seeing Someone Else's WORK and getting a feel for the "Price-Range".
ReplyDeleteAnyhoo, LOVELY Job! Good Luck with Sales!
:-D
Thank you very much! x
DeleteThe hessian is very attractive and I love your deer bunting so much it's on my Pinterest board!
ReplyDeleteAww thank you very much Lyn, i'm glad you like it! x
DeleteI love the rustic look, it makes the applique really stand out well.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much! x
DeleteOh I love all the bunting but my favourite has to be the reindeers. It's the tartan fabric that caught my eye. What about a reindeer bunting with Santa and his sleigh at the end? Have a lovely crafty week.
