INSTRUCTIONS
NOTES:
Let dry completely between painting steps.
- Using transfer paper and ruler, transfer template to 1/2" plywood (shown: 31 triangles). Cut out shapes. This will create (approximately) a 6' and 7' banner. Cut less shapes for desired length.
- Paint triangles as desired (shown: Azaela, Geranium Red, Marigold, Citrus Green, Blue Bahama, Petunia Purple, Summer Sky Blue, and Fiesta Yellow). Once Dried, sand edges smooth.
- If desired, use a stencil to apply lettering in a coordinating color. Once paint has dried, sand if desired.
- Apply clear coat to front, back, and sides of bunting for added durability.
- Drill 1/8" holes at both corners for rope. Be sure to remove any splinters from holes.
- Using a large embroidery needle, thread the jute rope through the drilled holes. Allow several feet extra at each end to use to tie up.
- Hang in desired location and enjoy!
