trend, this fabulous ScanNCut project will give your next (or first) gathering the perfect look and feel. It’s deceptively simple as the machine cuts all of the pieces precisely, leaving you to get on with the fun part: choosing your theme and constructing the pieces. We’ve added pompom ribbon and pearls to the cake stand, but a pretty lace edging would really complement the vintage feel.

Select a bunting design; I’ve used a butterfly pattern.

Draw the bunting before cutting if using a plain card as this will give your make a
drop shadow. After drawing leave on your mat and cut. Repeat until you have the desired number of flags.

Attach a large pearl embellishment to the bottom of each bunting, then snip the
pompom ribbon and thread though the holes to attach the bunting together.
Add ribbon to each end of your bunting to hang.
Place the circle over the straws and use your hot glue gun to attach them
to the back of your flowers.
Cover the centre of a recycled jar with sticky roll, then carefully wrap string
around it to decorate, then put your flowers inside the jar.
