Make Your Own Koinobori Bunting

Make Your Own Koinobori Bunting

I have been busy making things to decorate the baby nursery. I was inspired to make this from a koinobori (Carp streamer/ wind sock) I got while in Japan I thought it would make a cute felt bunting.

I first made the pattern pieces the body shape, mouth, scales and eye. These were basic to draw I then cut them out and used them as templates on my felt. The mouth piece I stitched by hand and the other pieces I used fabric glue. I used brown wool as the rope. A simple little project that can be made in an afternoon HAPPY CRAFTING!!!
