Bunting is such a traditional part of a British street party, it's practically compulsory!
A burst of colourful flags will transform your street and the more there are, the better. See our Street Party Guide for Residents for advice on how to organise a party.

To make your own
Be creative with your neighbours. In advance, gather a few people to cut out triangles and other shapes from medium- and lightweight fabric or plastic. Then sew, tie, staple, or glue the shapes onto tape or thin rope. Experiment by adding pictures or words, paint, sequins, buttons etc.
Bunting is best hung from side to side across the road, between the upstairs windows, gutter downpipes, lampposts and trees. (Mind how you go though, and remember, what goes up must come down!).
The origins of bunting are naval.
