thanksgiving bunting

Here's an easy thanksgiving bunting I made last year, but updated just a little.


The original pattern, that can be printed off for free, has really cute fall plaids and burlap designs.  Since I only have a black and white printer, I had to improvise.

 





I just printed it off in black and white and added my own burlap, and old book and music pages for depth and interest.

 


The neutral colors go good with my already neutral fall mantel.



Best of all, most of the work is done for you. Just print it out and start cutting.
 
 
Here's what the bunting looks like in it's color form:

keep primping,

  22. I know this is a year ago, however the printable letters are not there. I love this, is there anyway to get the letters again?
