The third Iron Craft challenge of 2011 was “Just Bunt.” Since we created something functional last week, this week we went completely for whimsy and created a bunting or garland. What Iron Craft likes about this challenge is that it is ripe with possibilities for different applications & materials.

Heather’s favorite submission was the Bunting Pillow by Crafty Dame. Stunning! Crafty Dame is now auctioning it off to benefit the Queensland Flood Relief, so go bid on it!

Our IC3 Submissions:

Rhonda Greene’s Submission: Miniature Dollhouse Birthday Bunting

This week, Rhonda was still in “miniature mode,” so she made a miniature dollhouse birthday bunting! She’s had a bunch of ideas in her head for a dollhouse birthday party kit, so this was a great place to start!

See more photos of Rhonda’s submission. Read about her inspiration and see the complete tutorial on her blog.

Melinda Hileman’s Submission: Sparkly Cupcake Bunting

Melinda was visiting her father this week, so she created this cupcake bunting with items she found at the dollar sections of Jo-Ann and Target, and the entire project cost under $5.

See more photos and a description of the supplies used to make Melinda’s submission. Download the printable template Melinda made – it includes blank cupcakes to color as well as the template pieces to create your own cupcake bunting! [Download the template PDF]
