Description

Lovely long string of mini 'Happy Birthday' bunting - perfect for displaying along a large kitchen dresser or favourite shelf. A one-off piece which you won't find anywhere else. Made from a selection of five different cotton fabrics featuring stars, checks and spots in shades of red, white and blue. The wording 'Happy Birthday' has been cut out by hand from blue felt and hand-stitched in place. The whole string has been sewn onto red and cream stripy ribbon for a vintage feel. The string measures 1.68 metres in length with additional 50cm ties at either end. I made this bunting as a sample piece for a craft fair many years ago and it would be nice for it to find a home. This is a 'second' as there is a mark on the ribbon just in front of the first flag (see photos) - as it's at the beginning of the string it could be hidden underneath a pin or folded under to hide it - because of this I am only charging £5 for the string. NB the flags on this bunting are quite small and only measure 10cm x 11 cm (almost half the size of my usual bunting). I made a similar style 'Merry Christmas' string of bunting which I have popped a picture on for you to get an idea of size and scale. Please note that this is not a toy and should be kept out of reach of babies and small children.
