Not your ordinary bunting.

I love finding random bags of bits and pieces at garage sales and was delighted when I bought a $2 bag of craft goodies and found some perfectly cute felt creations that I could turn into charming bunting.

Firstly there was a collection of hand sewn felt mini ovenmits. They were all hand made and embroided and I knew they'd make some cute bunting.

I simply attached them to a piece of string using a glue gun and hung them up in the kitchen for a touch of extra cutest ( sorry for the awful quality of the below photo, this amateur photographer had trouble with the light!)

I also found these little handmade doll dresses which I attached to string  using a glue gun and turned into patterned bunting. After all when you have lots of something little, bunting seems like a good option! I didn't want to just throw them out or donate them as they'd clearly been made with love and could be transformed into something I could use. I always appreciate hand made crafts and they were so darling, I just wanted go get them out and show them off in my home.

Have you ever made any surprise discoveries when you have thrifted a bag of things? How did you use them?

Happy thrifting!
