What a beautiful time of year for festive outdoor dinners! I’m prepping for a harvest themed dinner in late September, early October to take advantage of the beautifully colored trees we usually have in our yard around that time. I’ve begun to put together some ideas, and this easy bunting features handkerchiefs that you could already have on hand. If not, your local craft store would have a bunch of colors for around a dollar each. The process is simple:
ONE cut the hanky into quarters, TWO fold diagonally around a piece of twine or rope. THREE secure with a few staples.
Repeat as necessary with all of your handkerchief quarters, or throw in some vintage scarves or tea towels to add more pattern and color. I’m able to carefully remove the staples from my vintage hankies later and keep them relatively unscathed.
There will be more details of the dinner to come! I’ll show you each little bit along the way, and then the big picture after the party! This would be so cute in team colors for a tailgate, or in all vintage for a shower. Happy Harvest!

Cute! Can’t wait to hear more about the dinner… my husband and I wanted to do something similar this year, but time has gotten away from us. Next year, we are going to throw a party around our honey harvest and have honey-related everything (plus mead, if my husband can figure out how to make it).
oooh – homemade mead sounds intruiging! Let me know if you end up making it!
Cute! Your parties always beautiful!
So cute, and just perfect for casual fall picnics or tailgating! I love that you can make it as eclectic or as coordinating as you want, color-wise.
Right on cue with the changing of the seasons and I am itching to throw a little shindig myself. How adorable is this bunting?! Can’t wait to see more of your dinner details!
Fun! I adore bunting
