Bunting Banner Curtains

Sometimes it’s difficult to decorate a dorm/temporary living place. And windows look rather naked without curtains. Solution? Bunting banner curtains.

The rest of the ceiling from my room:

I tend to overdecorate– my corner is the one covered in posters, photography and art cut from Goodwill books. In my defense, I sit at my desk and homework it up so I need inspiration and distractions.

Another cheap, decorative love of mine:

paper lanterns and Christmas lights. Best way to home-ify a collegiate room. 🙂

(poinsettia lights. Lovely in July and December.)

Making bunting banner is SO simple. Here is one tutorial but I feel like it can be even simpler than this.

1. Cut triangles of fabric.
2. Flip the patterned sides together, sew along the edges.
3. Turn the fabric rightside out– iron flat.
4. Take ribbon, any strip of fabric, iron it in half and then sew the triangles in between. VOILA!

Party bunting.

I really love how the little flags look. 🙂 I also love the view from the window even more with curtains.
