How to make a Christmas decoration with bunting.

This is a very quick decoration to make. All you need is a Nutcracker Christmas bunting panel, some batting scraps, a pair of pinking scissors to cut and a sewing machine that can do a straight stitch, with a little bit of time .
First cut out all the bunting triangles, keep the grey strips which joined them together, cutting on the dash lines around each triangle. Set aside, both triangles and grey strips.
Next, take one grey strip, fold in half, with wrong sides facing towards the inside of the loop and place in the middle of one bunting triangles.
Now place another triangle bunting piece on top of the grey loop, right side facing down.
Place a triangle of batting, which is smaller than the triangle bunting on top of the bunting triangles. Stitch at the top of the triangle, catching the batting in the seam line. Only sew the line at the top. It will look like this.
Now fold it open, making sure the grey tab is facing away from the bunting triangle. Smooth the bunting triangles to be on top of each other, with the batting in the middle. Then top stitch the batting down, a half an inch from the sides.  

Your decoration is done, ready to hang on the tree.
