BOYS Star Denim Blue, Red & White Flag Bunting. In the flag colours of Australia, United Kingdom & the USA

'Just for the Boys, Star' Flag Bunting Decoration.

'I've been asked so many times if I could make bunting 'Just for Boys'.
Well, here it is, a newly designed & listed item, hope you like it!'

I have been wanting to make a boys flag bunting for quite sometime now,
It's difficult to find the right sort of fabrics I want to use.

I knew that ideally I wanted a modern but classic look, I finally decided it had to include denim, a polka dot fabric (on red) and a blue & white stripe fabric.
Such a bold colour scheme needed a bold but fun applique so stars it had to be!
The stars have been sewn with a raw edge for a funky look.
Overall the colours are influenced by the colours of the flags of the following three countries, Australia, United Kingdom & the USA. 





It's just recently added to my Etsy & 'Made It' stores 

THIS ITEM: This Flag Bunting adds charm to any room, or outside area !!!
Total length is three (3) metres / about nine (9) feet approx.
Eleven (11) flags in various fabrics.

This set of flags is a lovely combination of Plain Denim, Blue & White, Red Polka Dot print fabric & applique stars - simply stunning!

Double sided - can be viewed from front or back. There are no unfinished edges on these flags.
Stars have a raw edge - done on purpose for a funky look! Stars only on one side of the bunting.
