DIY ez "No-Sew" bunting!

I've been on a craft binge recently! Baby #3 must be a creative lil thing ;) Third trimester insomnia means I'm spending a lot of time on Pinterest...which is where I keep seeing adorable nurseries decorated with "bunting" (I learned this is the fancy name for those circus-inspired flag thingies).  

I wanted to add some bunting to the new baby's nursery (which we're calling the "kids room" since we stuck a tv in there and a bunch of toys and a 'lil table to occupy our 2 other kids).  Well...I've realized I'm deathly afraid of my sewing machine...pathetically, I do anything I can do to avoid firing that baby up (I have to get over that fear!).  So, I found a pin with No-Sew DIY instructions and kind of modified/customized/simplified them based on supplies I already had.   

Here's the pin I used: http://pinterest.com/pin/74027987597522332/

Here's what I changed:

1. Used scissors instead of a rotary cutter

2. Glue gunned 3/4" ribbon on front and spaced each "flag" out an inch

3.  Used Pellon "wonder under" and a basic white (cheap) fabric as backing since I wanted to save my colored fabrics for other potential projects and I didn't want to double side the colored/patterned fabrics because the room gets lots of light and shines through the bunting.  

Easiest project! And looks awesome (to me).
