DIY compliment bunting
I've created a downloadable file for making compliment bunting. When you need to tell someone they're super, this might be just the thing. Use it for birthdays, promotions or when your friend is sad. Everybody likes compliments. By the way, your hair looks very nice today.
If you happen to have a Silhouette digital cutter and Adobe Illustrator, it's fun to cut out the letters. (You'll need the Cutting Master 2 Craft ROBO plug-in, available here for Mac and PC. Install it, then open the bunting PDF in Illustrator. Delete the extra pages, then go to File > Cutting Master and cut your triangle of choice.)
Or just print your favorite PDF pages on cardstock and cut them out. Punch small holes in the corners and string the bunting.
The PDF contains six pages—three designs in two colors each. Download the complimentary compliment bunting file right here.

Oh dear! What a wonderful gift! Thanks so much for sharing--I have a feeling this will be made and hung up for years to come. xoxo
Love it! I'm going to use it this weekend!
Any tips on putting it together once it's printed? It looks like there's a little space between each triangle - are there knots behind there somewhere? Thanks!
Ha - my blog post was about feeling less than enthusiastic about my hair and just having a bad day . . . very funny to write that and then read your post IMMEDIATELY after. :) Thanks!
Love this! Thanks so much for sharing!
Awesome!
Why, thank you! And here I thought I was having a BAD hair day!

Hey there, Sara. No knots—I just threaded the string in and out of the holes. The string goes behind each triangle.
This is fantastic, just what i needed! Thanks a bunch!
this is darling! i love it. thank you!
Lovely!!! And kind. :)
You totally put a bird on it! :)
I succumbed to the Portlandia influence. The whole time I kept hearing a voice in my head saying "Put a bird on it!" I blame you. :)
So awesome! I'd love to print it out immediately :-)
Lovely idea! Thank you!
What a great idea! Thank you so much for developing and sharing it. I will have to run and buy some stronger paper to print it out for my friend's birthday next week!
I was feeling grumpy and under appreciated today. Decided to cut and make and leave them in my room. Even though I'm saying it to myself- it certainly made me feel better thank you SO much :D
Thanks for this! A lovely idea.
Why, yes. Yes I am fab. Always. (Even when I don't feel like it.)
Precisely.

Thank you for sharing it, is what I needed for my friend's party
very cute. We all need more of the 'no reason at all' buntings
Love this tutorial. Have just bought a Silhouette machine so this will be my first project. Have posted about your tutorial on my blog, hope you don't mind, but I love all the paper craft projects you do.
Or a banner that proclaims that you are fully and completely and joyously you and that is completely and wonderfully just enough.
how nice - thanks for that
how sweet, thanks for that
(patting hair) Thanks! I like your shirt.
Larissa, thanks! This is my favorite shirt.
Anonymous, the font is MEgalopolis Extra, available free right here. I doctored it up in a couple places and knocked out the counters (holes in the letters).
You always have such great ideas! Thank you for this. I'm making them for my kids. They'll love it.
any suggestions for making this without the equipment reccomended??

Cut the letters painstakingly by hand with an X-acto knife, or just print the colored pages, trim out the triangles with a scissors, and call it a day.
love it! some encouragement during a dreary day.
That's just wonderful. Thank you so much.
Love it! I'm going to hang one up in the staff room at my kids' school for Teacher Appreciation Week.
You are fab for sharing these!
Thanks & I have featured them in my cinco de mayo round up!

You inspired me to create a paper bunting with words of encouragement on it. Here are pics:
