BUNTING ON A BUDGET

I wanted to make the house look alittle patriotic for The Queens Diamond Jubilee.

and the money tree at the bottom of our garden is looking pretty bare these days, 

so I made this cute bunting, for our front window...

it cost less than a pound to make...

OLYMPIC TORCH RELAY 2012

We went to watch the Olympic Torch Relay in our area last week...

 

I always say we are doing these things as they may not come our way again...

it was all over in a couple of minutes...

passing on of the Olympic Flame, Stoke-on-Trent...

Angela Smith...

and it was over...

 there was alot of waiting...

Then these lovely young ladies came by...

They are called Granny Turismo...

and were hilarious, on their souped up shopping trollies...

they danced around to music on them, they were Liam's favourite part.

Just look at peoples faces!

Here's a video link for you to check them out.

(I will get Liam to upload his video of them)

Diamond Jubilee Swag Decoration

Here's a cheap and easy sway for your Diamond Jubilee / 4th of July celebrations...

red,white and blue easy sew swags.

from Moore Minutes

For a 2metre long swag

you will need:

a red flat sheet

a white flat sheet

a navy flat sheet

• cut each sheet into approx 30cm strips
•  (you will get 3 from a single sheet and 6 from a double sheet)
• sew together along the length on of each colour
• and hem all around the outside edges

To hang just tie with ribbon in desired places to get desired drape.

*For a longer swag join each coloured strips together along the 30cm edge,

   then sew along the whole of the length of each colour for a neater finish.

For the star garland cut your felt star shapes and continuously sew them together, continue sewing on nothing to get the chain between the stars.

Enjoy The Diamond Jubilee!!!
