Obviously I used this bunting in the baby's nursery but I think it would make a great party decoration for a children's story themed birthday bash, a literary themed wedding (any book will do), or a surprise party using photographs instead of book pages. At a cost of almost $0, its a project I suspect Ill be using again.
ps: Yes, I used the very same dictionary I used for this project way back when. Lucky for me, there are lots of pages left!
Thank you thank you thank you for this! I am going to make one for my superbowl party this weekend and have been meaning to find a tutorial. What a relief to find it here this morning!

ReplyDeleteI made a book page bunting for a book swap party and used pinking shears. I love the crinkle cut edge!
ReplyDeleteI made something like this for my then-boyfriend's (now-husband's) 40th birthday party. The color theme was black and white, and we are big readers, so I made mine with dictionary pages, too.
ReplyDeleteFor mine, I wanted to make them stand out more from the walls - which in this case were white - so before cutting I painted random swirliness onto the pages with watered-down acrylic craft paint.
Also, because I was decorating a large space for a party, I didn't glue them together, but used a single-hole punch at each top corner and strung twine through it.
They were a really fund project!
I made this for a literature themed party! Thanks for the tutorial, it inspired my bunting :)
