Playing at Happy Families

Actually playing WITH Happy Families would be more appropriate.
Last week whilst rummaging in the 10p toy box in the charity shop I found a pack of Happy Families playing cards and when I opened up the box and saw the pictures I knew exactly what I wanted to do with them.
Make bunting of course!


It wasn't a full pack of cards, some of them were a bit too dog eared and torn and by using the pictures I didn't like so much to practise on with the hole punch to see whereabouts I preferred the hole for the ribbon I was eventually left with my favourites.

I do love Mr White and Mr Sole's moustaches! 





There were 8 left over which are up for grabs if anyone fancies them for their own Happy Families bunting or another craft project. 
I shall pop names in a hat if more than one would like them and if no-one does then I'll keep them for spares.


Happy Days.

Edit-the cards have now found a new home.
