Tent bunting done

The first lot for my very good friends is done, they are away soon in their tent so got it made up asap.  It should drape over the front, though obviously they can put it wherever,  I'm going to ask for a picture!  The tent is blue. Its made from old waterproof trousers,  an umbrella, kids storage hanger,  just things I had. The tape is the only purchase,  I'm hoping the red will tatter and weather to make it look even more vintage.
