Hanky bunting

Picture 276a 

Project No. 9 of the Sweet Six Studio online art retreat.  The instructions called for hotgluing the hankies together but I couldn't bear to do that so I just tied the ribbons on the overlapped hankies.

I'm not planning on leaving it on the mantel (which I have not changed out since the beginning of the year – I must really like that assortment of things up there) ~ it's just there for photographic purposes.  Perhaps over the window in the bathroom.

Out of the ten projects posted so far I have completed seven.  One turned out so terrible that I am not putting a picture of it up here.  Just one of those times when what was in my head did not make through my hands and into the project.

I cannot wait to start project No. 10.  I think it is my favorite so far.

    I really like your hanky bunting. I couldn’t hot glue them, either. I have filed this idea away in my head (and my computer files) to do with some colored hankies for my sewing room redo. If I ever get that far! ~Adrienne~

    Hot Glue? Never on our beautiful vintage pieces. You did the right thing and this is just a beautiful use of these special pieces.
    As always, love seeing what you do. Pat

    this was very pretty, and adds a nice tecture to the mantel. But I’m not sure where to suggest you put it, if not there…

    Ooooohhhh, I also love your hanky bunting!!! But I was wondering – how did you get the ribbons onto the hanky? Did you sew those on, so you could tie them together? Would LOVE to have a complete tutorial on how you did that too!!!!
