August will see the country turn red,
white and blue as we support our athletes in their bid for Olymic
gold. Armed with a pair of Fiskars Pinking Shears, a handful of
fabric and a simple sewing kit you can have your house and garden
kitted out in no time to support our team GB.
Pinking shears give a zig-zag edge to
fabric which not only looks great but means it won't fray and doesn't
need to be hemmed or stitched. By using pinking shears you can create
bunting, table mats, napkins, table runners, flags without a sewing
machine in sight.
Making decorations doesn't need to be
difficult. Whilst it's easy to find Union Jack fabric on line this is
a great opportunity to 'upcycle' and use what you have at home. An
old white shirt, cast off jeans and unwanted curtains make a great
base for bunting.
Beautiful Bunting in 2 simple steps
From a template (lots available online)
cut your bunting shape using Fiskars Pinking Shears.
Pin the bunting shapes to ribbon or
tape and sew by hand or machine if you have one.
Fiskars Pinking Shears are £35.99 and
a great investment for any home. For anyone sewing they are essential
but if not they can be used to make quick costumes for school,
Christmas decorations, lids for home made preserves, birthday cards,
invitations - the list goes on!
Fiskars Scissors are available from
stores nationwide or visit www.fiskars.com
