Colorful Crepe Paper Streamer Bunting - The Easiest Decor Ever!

I've seen tons of takes on bunting over the past couple years.  I haven't had any bunting in  our home though, I just never made any because I didn't have a good cutter to make straight lines needed for a paper one, or a sewing machine to make a good cloth one.  So, the other day when I saw some crepe paper streamers at the store in the party section, I had an idea.  I decided to use the streamers to make a couple of banners for my office.

Here's my supplies.  Just some crepe paper streamers in purple, blue & pink.  I also used some twine that I had on hand from the dollar store.  I cut about 12 pieces of each color to make two strings of bunting.  I originally thought that I'd cut out triangle shapes, but they would have been way too small, so strips of streamers was going to work great for me.  I also cut my twine before adding the streamers.  I measured the twine up against my box shelves so that they were already cut when I started applying the streamers.

I taped each strip to my twine by folding the top edge around the twine & securing it with a little piece of tape.  Once I got to the end of the string, I taped it up on either side of my boxed shelves for display.

I love the pretty girly colors added to my office space!  This project was so simple & inexpensive but made a great impact to my space.

Have you made any paper buntings before?  What materials have you used?  Anything unusual?
