This DIY ombre watercolor cake bunting was a fun and easy craft to do! After breaking in my watercolors, I was on a mission to paint whatever I could find. Since I had planned on baking a couple of cakes to celebrate the grand re-opening of Urban Angler, I figured why not make a cute bunting to go with it? Fisherman could appreciate a good project, right?

Supplies Needed: 2 food-safe Wooden dowels, paper (this was watercolor paper, but any paper will do just fine), watercolors, bakers twine and a paper punch. Instructions: Using your watercolors, paint an ombre design on your paper. (The waves were perfect for guys who love the water!) Cut your paper to desired width/length. Then attach your cake flag by punching holes at the top corners of the paper and string the twine through as shown. Tie the end of the string to the dowels. You can adjust the drape of your bunting by spreading out the paper and adjusting the tightness of the twine. Then all you have to do is pop it in the cake! An easy and fun way to dress up any occasion!

This quick little bunting makes me look forward to creating our wedding cake toppers (since we will have a couple of small cakes) and finding some other watercolor projects to do this summer! I have already been scouring Pinterest looking for more watercolor inspiration! Enjoy!
