Easy Peasy Breezy Vintage Hanky Bunting

June 15, 2015 By Talya Tate Boerner

Easy Peasy Breezy Vintage Hanky Bunting

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.

Musical Pairing:

Seals & Crofts, Summer Breeze
