m e t o yo u r Welco v i ty P ack ! Acti We’d like Barnsley to be the ‘Best Dressed’ town during the Tour de Yorkshire and need your help . . . Inside we’ve got lots of ideas and suggestions you can use to make your own bunting, street and window dressing. We want to ‘bring out the bunting’ in style in an effort to win the crown of Best Dressed. Whether you’re an absolute beginner or a seasoned bunter with crafty know-how, this pack is for you. It includes suggestions for themed designs, motifs and colour schemes for your projects and gives you all you need to know to compliment your very own ‘Bunt offs’. We want all residents, community groups, youth clubs, churches, schools and businesses to do their bit. Now you’re ready to get started! 2
t i n g gu i d e Bun It’s time to ‘GET IN GEAR’, and ‘GET CREATIVE’ and here is your pit stop of inspiration! For all you crafty beginners we’ve gathered some basic instructions, fun ideas and simple templates to start you off. Those of you with a flare with thread or a passion for painting lets go to town and show our neighbours and the watching world just how creative ‘us Barnsley folk’ can be. THE GOLDEN RULES 1) Your bunting will be in situ for at least 2 weeks, so make it to withstand all weathers! 2) Each bunting line should be no more than 20 metres long but you can always make more than 1 line. 3) Please leave at least 70cms of tape at the end of your flags for attaching. 4) No staples or pins as they cut fingers and tangle up the lines. 5) Consider the environment! Test your bunting. Ensure that is won’t fray and that bits won’t drop off. Avoid using water soluble glue to attach decorations or flags. Please use stitch and bondaweb (on fabric) and laminate paper flags. 6) If you want your bunting back please make sure at least 1 flag in each line has your name or group name sewn on or written on with fabric pens. 3
Let’s Get Bunting Bunting making is as simple or as complicated as you want it to be! Before you start, ask yourself the following questions… TOP T IP! Start by cu 1 Sizes - How big do you want your flags to be, and how far apart tting a few different siz ed paper will they be strung? Bigger flags can be spaced further apart on triangles an d play arou with sizes a nd their ribbon. Bunting made of smaller flags works better in smaller nd spacing . places (small front yards and shop windows). A good rule of thumb is to space flags a flags width apart, but it boils down to what you think looks good! 2 Flag shapes - are you going traditional or trying something a bit different? Consider rectangles (hung either portrait or landscape) cogs, jersey shaped flags or something completely different! Check out our templates and photos for inspiration! TOP T IP! Avoid using shear or th 3 What type of fabric will you use? Does it curl when cut? Does it fabrics suc in h as chiffon organza on or their own. T hold its shape and hang well? Is it quick drying?

4 Are you doubling the thickness of each flag? If you are, your bunting will be stronger and longer lasting. You will also be able to play with colour, different coloured front and back; this is where bunting making gets exciting! The downside is that this is a much more fiddly process and takes much longer, a big consideration if you TOP T IP! are making miles of bunting.

If you use ribbon or string ered buntin g. it will need to be thick and strong. The best thing to use is woven seam tape or bias binding. 7 Can you recycle or reuse? Do you have fabric leftover from projects, or old clothing or bedding you no longer need? Not only is this better for the environment, you’ll have the pleasure of recalling memories associated with your recycled items as your bunting dances in the breeze. TOP T IP!

E Y O U R O W N CREAT BUNT-OFF Why not create your own bunting-making event inspired by our Great Barnsley Bunt-Off. Gather people from your street, friendship group, family or community. Share ideas and inspiration and before you know it you have bunting a-plenty ready for the big race. DECORATE YOUR OWN Let’s get personal! How about putting the name of your place, group or family on your bunting flags. You could make poetry bunting! Use bondaweb and stitch to applique your own words or sayings. You could even send some words of encouragement to our awesome TDY Cyclists. Your decorations might be related to Barnsley places or sights of interest on the Barnsley route. TOP T I P!

CUTTING YOUR OWN STENCIL school field around you to create yo r inspired flo ur own bike wer beds. Carefully cut out the black areas of your chosen design from our templates. Use a craft knife with a fresh, sharp cutting blade, and a green cutting mat. To cut, apply pressure with one finger placed firmly on the indent on the craft knife handle. Always cut towards you and away from your other hand. Keep the knife straight as much as possible. To turn corners move the stencil and mat together rather than turning corners with the knife. Children should be supervised if using this cutting method. You can use spray paint and your hand cut stencil to decorate canvasses and boards for outside use. We recommend using non- toxic spray paints which are now available but would still advise caution when spraying. Be sure to wear a mask, work outside where possible. If you are spraying inside fully ventilate your work area. Use short sprays and a light touch to ensure even coverage and a crisp image. 7
DESIGN YOUR OWN SHOP WINDOW Use our stencil templates to decorate your home or workplace window. We recommend using wipe-clean, chalk spray paint, available online. Local businesses ‘en route’ can come along to a window painting demonstration planned for early April in a Town Centre venue. As well a social gathering, guests will have a chance to meet artists who will create live window art and share inspiration and instructions on how to use stencils, sprays and chalk markers to create something unique and bespoke for your business. We will be giving out a number of ready-cut stencil packs, including more complex 2 layer designs for you to play with. Online!

a d e y o u r bu n t i n g , You’ve m t ha p p e n s n e x t ? so wha You’ll need to decide where you’re going to put up your decorations. Whether it’s bunting, window dressing or even banners, then there are a few things you need to think about. You’ll need to have the permission of the owner of the property or land you’d like to decorate before doing anything. You’ll also need to think about how to put it up safely. Finally, you’ll need to consider if it has any impact on the public in any way or could cause any potential issues. Even if you own the property or land, please do consider all health and safety issues to yourself and others. It could be you or your friends gardens, homes or businesses along the route, just please make sure pavements are not obstructed. You could also consider other locations to hang your bunting. This includes council owned parks and verges along the route such as Wilthorpe, Mapplewell or Royston, lampposts, fences and road signs, or Trans Pennine Trail crossing points such as Lewden, Havelands Lane or Penistone Bridges. If you are interested in any of these options, then you must submit for installation by Barnsley Council with your preferred location. Please note that each Lamp column needs to be checked for structural stability before any installation can proceed, and that council policy is that anything fixed to lampposts can only go two weeks in advance of the event and will be taken down within one week after the event. It may be that several groups or people are interested in the same public location so please share your plans and register interest with the Public Rights of Way team ideally before Easter or the end of March but no later than Monday 8 April 2019. Contact them on 01226 772696 or publicrightsofway@barnsley.gov.uk 18

You will also need to make sure that each line of bunting has a name written on it so we know who it belongs to. You could sew this on or write it with fabric pens. You can make as much bunting as you’d like to, but make sure that any single line of bunting is no longer than 20m, all pennants must be attached together before being deposited for installation, and there must be 70cm at either end of the line for attaching.
