Ramadan Bunting Decorations - 30 Days of Ramadan Crafts

Ramadan Bunting Decorations tutorial Muslim Islamic Craft
Day 7 - Ramadan Bunting Decorations

We have just finished making the Bunting for this year - I have written an easy tutorial and also provided a free download of the templates that we used to make ours. We did this last year but this time we used some pastel colours for a change.

Requirements:
  • Coloured Card
  • Paper to use for the letters.
  • Hole Punch to make holes (or use something else for holes)
  • Crayons or other colouring stationery.
  • String (we used wool!)
  • Glue/Prit-stick

Instructions:
Step 1) Using the card, cut out some triangles (you can use the free template if you wish).
Step 2) Make sure you puncture 2 holes into the tops of the triangles so that you can insert the string afterwards.
Step 3) Draw/write out the letters for the bunting (or print out the ones on the free template)
Step 4) Colour in the Letters and then cut them out once finished.
Step 5) Place the triangles in a nice coloured pattern if using different coloured cards so that it looks neat.
Step 6) Glue the Letters onto the triangles - avoiding the holes.
Step 7) Thread the string through all the triangles and then hang up and display!

Here is the link to the free download for the Bunting Templates: Ramadan Bunting.pdf

Helpful Hints:
If you want to be more creative you could follow this design using Scrap Fabric and cut out the triangles and letters using different fabrics. You could still use glue if you don't want to sew or if you like sewing you could sew the letters on and make it more secure.

Above is another photo of a Ramadan Bunting we have in the house. This was made completely by my 11 year old daughter using Coloured paper cut into hearts and with the letters 'RAMADAN' handwritten on. She has put this above her bed.
