I've been wanting to make a bunting for sometime and Alex's birthday (he was 9 yesterday) was the perfect "excuse".
Depending on the level of detail you want your bunting or banner to have, it can be very quick and easy to make. For this one I used a template a drew myself in the shape of a triangle but you can use any shape you like. A bunting is also perfect to use up any scraps of fabric you might have leftover from your previous projects.
I enjoyed making this one so much that I'm thinking of making one for Christmas and one for my little niece's birthday in February.
Here are some very cool buntings/banners you can find on Flickr:
Bella Dia made one with crochet flowers, and this one with crochet hearts, they are so pretty.
Cupcake bunting by Jellybelly*Jellybrain, isn't it just adorable?
