Haha. This is so simple it’s silly. Homemade bunting made from string or ribbon, teeny clothespins and vintage handkerchiefs (because everyone has a big stack, right?).
Right.
There’s just something about bunting and porches and summer. This vintage hanky bunting is cute for glamping or camping or decorating the barn for your next family reunion. Perfect for spiffing up your sidewalk lemonade stand or neighborhood porch party or vacation beach bonfire. Why let those vintage linens sit in a drawer all summer? They need to be clothesline, fresh-air, freeeeeee!
String up some ribbon or cord, pin up the handkerchiefs and there you have it. No sewing, because I don’t sew. Easy peasy breezy vintage hanky bunting.
As my blogger friend Jerusalem Greer calls it, homespun summer.

P.S. If by some odd coincidence you don’t have a drawer full of hankies, you can pick some up for a few dollars at flea markets everywhere. Or use craft paper. Or material scraps.

My grandma always carried a hanky just like those in your pictures. I wonder what happened to them. This is such a neat idea.
Thanks Colene. Maybe we should all start actually using them again?
Would you believe that just yesterday, I found my long lost bag of hankies? I was sorting through some storage containers, when I made the discovery. I was so glad to find them because I thought that they been thrown away. Another Talya moment!!!

Cool!
So cute, but I’m REALLY digging your jam today.. love that song!
