More help from one of my friends

After two very long posts two days in a row, I'm sure you will be happy to know I'm once again getting help from a very dear friend: Chris at Pear Shaped Crafting.

Chris came up with a brilliant idea.  She first made a bunting template to send to most people in her apartment complex.  She admitted some individuals would not be physically able to do this, so she made extras. 

According to Chris:

I am suggesting that they use any fabric to hand, be it old clothing, table cloths, handkerchiefs, bedding, drying cloths - even being cheeky and suggesting that if they have nothing else that underwear will do.

Chris further states:

I used all sorts of leftover fabric, including old shirts, fabric left over from some makes for my Granddaughter, an old cushion cover and some fabric that I bought and never found a use for!

Per Chris, she and:

some of the Messy day group have made enough for everyone and some to spare.

Chris's original plan was to hang the buntings on trees for Easter, but the apartment manager told Chris she could provide enough string so every apartment could hang their own buntings on their balconies.

Chris already has hers waving proudly on her balcony and she tells me hers is not the only bunting to go up, as others have gotten into the spirit of the event.  Chris's final thought:

Hopefully it will make an interesting sight for those that pass here or live nearby too!

Please check out Chris's blog post and thank her for sharing this great recycling idea.  It's truly the best birthday gift she could possibly give me.  I promise, she'll have lots more photos on her blog.

This is day 11 of 22, which means we are half way through our recycling efforts this year.  Thankfully, my dear friend provided the recycling post today and it is fabulous.  I bet several of you will make a bunting to grace your own porches and balconies, too!  Please visit her blog for the entire article.
