My Mum has a small obsession with bunting ^^ And she wanted to decorate her diary for school, so here's what I came up with!

You Will Need (5 things)
- Embroidery Thread all colours!
- 1 Blue Gingham
- Fabric Scraps
- Cross Stitch Materials
- Diary
Steps (7 steps, 90 minutes)
-
1
First, measure the exact side of one side of the diary. Cut 2 pieces of cross-stitch material this size.
-
2
Sew on the 'grass' and the bunting flags first. I used a machine for this, or you can hand sew, but a machine zigzag stitch stops the material from fraying too badly.

3
Then, embroider the flowers/grass things, using your colourful embroidery threads!
-
4
Add any buttons or embellishments on now.
Repeat steps 2,3 and 4 for the other piece of cross-stitch material.
-
5
Attach the two pieces of cross-stitch material to each side of the diary (front and back), using Double Sided Sticky Tape.
-
6
Then cut out long strips of blue gingham using pinking shears, to act as bias binding. Glue this onto the sides and the spine of the diary, and you're done!
