My first "baby" just celebrated his fourth birthday over the weekend, and I wanted to share this easy peasy birthday cake bunting I made to decorate his cake... it's super easy and makes a special cake just that more festive!

Supplies:
Food Skewers, I found these at the grocery store, you get a lot for under $3! (Dowels will work in a pinch too!)
Colorful Streamers or any Decorative Paper
Glue Stick
Bakers Twine or String, I LOVE all the colors that
Divine Twine has to offer!
Scissors
What to Do:
First I measured out about 12 inches of twine, added a little glue to the top of one of the skewers and wrapped the twine around while tightening and then tied a knot, do the same to the other skewer to connect the line. Trim off any excess.
Next I cut six little "flags" out of the streamer paper. I just used the length of the paper which was about 1.5 inches, the width was about one inch. Then I cut out a little notch on the bottom to give it a little more cuteness!
Take your glue stick and apply a little glue on the top of one of your flags, fold over the twine and press firmly to adhere the glue to your line, continue placing the rest of flags evenly across your line. Let the glue dry completely before placing the bunting in your cake!
Center your bunting in the cake, add some candles, and your done! Isn't this cute? You can use different colored paper, or even felt, or fabric to make your flags. I used the length of the skewers (which was about 10 inches long) for mine, but you can try cutting them down if you need your bunting to be shorter.
Happy Cake Decorating!!
