I love how decorating the house at Christmas time brings back so
many family memories. We have some decorations that date back quite a few generations and I especially like these old pieces. When setting out to design this bunting I wanted to create some crochet motifs that echoed the shape of vintage Christmas tree baubles. I added beads, bells and mirrors for a touch of sparkle and I am so pleased with the results. I hope you will love making this fabulous stash-busting project and that in the years to come it might remind you and your loved ones of precious fun times too.
