Summer is finally here and with it comes garden parties, BBQs, and celebrations in the sunshine. At Roberts Recycling, we’re celebrating the season in true eco-style with a brand-new Makers Monday video, and this week’s DIY is all about fun, reusable bunting!
Led by our very own Denise Roberts, this creative project is perfect for adding a splash of colour and personality to your summer events, all while being kind to the planet. Whether you’re decorating for a birthday, a picnic, or just jazzing up your garden, this easy DIY bunting is the perfect sustainable solution.
Why DIY Bunting?
Store-bought party decorations often end up in the bin after just one use. But with this #DIYBunting, you can repurpose old textiles like pillowcases, shirts, or fabric offcuts to create cheerful, reusable décor that lasts year after year. It’s a simple and fun way to support the circular economy and keep textiles out of landfill.
Makers Monday: Turning Old into Gold
Launched in November 2024, Makers Monday is our weekly initiative to inspire people to rethink waste through creative, DIY-friendly crafts. From handmade vase bags to draught excluders, each video offers ideas to help you reuse what you already own in fun, practical ways.
This week’s episode shows just how easy it is to turn fabric scraps into beautiful, cotton bunting that’s as good for your parties as it is for the planet. No fancy equipment needed – just a bit of imagination and some fabric you’re ready to give new life to!
Join the Movement
Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or a total beginner, Makers Monday is all about getting stuck in and having fun while making a difference. Share your creations with us using the hashtags #MakersMonday and #SustainableLiving, and let’s inspire more people to choose eco-friendly alternatives.
