Mothers Day Bunting Flags

Last week for Mother's day our lovely friend Marie, (Paul's Mum) offered to come into Room 8 to show and help us make bunting for our wonderful mothers on their special day. It was a lot of fun and hard work to create these but in the end it was all worth it. On behalf of Room 8 we'd like to give a big thank you and shout out to Marie for helping all of us make all of our mothers head over heels on their day. We owe you heaps ;).
These are some photos of us making our bunting.

To make your own at home you need…

1. Paper (we used dictionary pages).

2. Black ink pad.

3.  Lettered stamps to press into the ink.

4. Glitter

5. PVA glue

6. Scissors   

7. String

8. A pretty tag

9. Hole puncher

10. Coloured paper

11. Shaped hole punchers, love heart 

12. A paper bag

13. Paint brush

14.  Ribbons

15. Enthusiasm!

Steps.. 

1. Decide what you want to say

2. Find the correct letters and then stamp then into the black ink pad

3. Press the lettered stamps onto the paper

4. While you're waiting for it to dry repeat the stamping with love heart stamps (if you want)

5. Decorate your bag and make it look fab

6. When your bunting is dry you could decorate it with glitter

7. Put Sellotape on each top corner of each piece of paper

8. When that is done, use a hole puncher and put one hole over each piece of Sellotape

9. Put string into the holes but do only one piece of paper at a time

10. When all of the string is through the papers, you can make it look nice by putting ribbons around/on it if you like.
