It's very cute, but a bit pink and girly for us, my favourite one was this one:

They're definitely too expensive for the scale were doing though, and unfortunately for us they're based in Australia, but they do have some lovely stuff. I've fallen in love with this mobile:

Once I'd started thinking about bunting I went on a bit of a hunt to see if we could find a more affordable solution, or some inspiration for something we could make ourselves. My first port of call was Folksy, where I found loads of really pretty options, this is my favourite:

But again everything I found was too expensive to buy and too labour intensive to make. After exhausting Folksy I had a look on Etsy and found this:

This is definitely my favourite of the lot, nice and simple. There are lots of other lovely garlands in this shop as well, but since it's on Etsy it's in the states, so loads of nasty airmiles. Plus this is still out of our budget for the amount we need. But I think this seems makeable?
I had an idea from the start that we would make some kind of bunting out of newspaper. We have plenty of it lying around and it would be a good use for it, so I thought why not try and make something like this with it. I was thinking the labour intensive bit would be cutting out the circles, but then I realised that these circles are really perfect, so there must be a tool you can get to do it for you. A quick google-ing session and it turns out there is! Hurray! So I just need to work out how I can get my hands on a 'circle punch' and give it a go, I'll keep you posted!
