Let's get started!

The first thing I made with my new Silhouette machine was this printed canvas bunting! I downloaded 2 different bunting graphics from the Silhouette online store and had the machine cut out the designs on vinyl:

I placed the vinyl cutout onto a basic screen. The bunting is a positive image so I had to cut a few pieces of vinyl to create an outline around it:

I used a large canvas tablecloth for my fabric. First I did a row of charcoal colored flags in one design:

Then I did a second design in hot pink:

I was tempted to silk screen the entire table cloth with this print and leave it at that!

I cut out each flag:

I left the edges of the flags raw..the ink keeps them from fraying:

I used a 1/4 inch ribbon as the string...

...and sewed each flag to it along the top:

So festive! An easy way to decorate for a party or just spruce up a room or table:
