Pacman Bunting

I made the Pacman Bunting at the top for the Iron Craft Challenge.

I tore some pages from an old paperback, folded them in half, cut out the shapes I wanted, and painted them with one layer of watered down acrylics. After they dried I modge-podged the sides together leaving a gap at the top so I could push the string through later. I let them dry again, went over them with a sharpie (my new best friend), tied some twine to a chopstick and used that in place of a needle to string the pieces together.

It was actually a pretty quick and simple project. If you try this just know that the book pages will want to curl when you paint them. They straighten out easy enough when they’re dry though.

    Thanks for dropping by my blog.

    From the looks of the things you have blogged, even though your craft area is compact, you certainly seem to get better use from it.

    Oh, I absolutely love this! I am hosting an ’80s birthday party this year, and this would be perfect for draping around the tables. Thanks for the super fun inspiration. :)
