Summer Weddings

Lovely to see our Wedding Bells bunting in use at this pretty village church in the beautiful Test Valley in Hampshire. It turns a mossy lychgate into a gorgeous entrance, fitting for such a beautiful bride. Aaah...

Spring Bunting

We are delighted to see Zigzag Bunting featured once again in this month's Wedding Magazine. This time we were asked to supply bunting to co-ordinate with their 'Theme Your Day' item, so we came up with a Bespoke Bunting to reflect the colour and fresh look of their photograph.


We also spotted some of our pretty 'Bells & Tassels' Bunting gracing another photo for a summer picnic, lovely to see Zigzag hanging out in such good company!

Bunting for your Yurt

Spring is bursting forth here at Zigzag HQ, with beautiful swags of wedding bunting streaming out of the door daily, and lots of lovely feedback from our happy customers: yesterday we heard from a delighted customer who is taking our bunting to Normandy for a glamourous weekend of gastronomic celebrations. Happy Birthday Anyes!

We have just been asked by Riverford Organics (suppliers of fresh veg boxes across the country) to make them some bunting for their Yurt. They have a Travelling Field Kitchen roaming the country this summer cooking up fantastic dishes from their seasonal fresh produce, and we are definitely going to try it out, having found that one of their farms, Norton Farm, is just down the road from us here in Longparish. Come and be seduced by beautiful bunting and delicious food in a traditional yurt, now that really is dining with a difference!

New Bunting Kits from Zigzag

 We are proud to launch our new Bunting Kits, a great gift to give or send by post to friends young or old who enjoy making their own decorations. This kit contains pre-cut flags in a great range of colours (this is the Pinks version) plus high quality binding tape, ribbons, buttons and felt shapes for embellishment, together with some co-ordinating embroidery threads allowing the artist to shine through.

Our kits make over 1m of bunting, with ties, and have been very popular: please enquire for availability, we are hoping these will be on our website soon!

Wow Thank You!

We are very excited here at Zigzag Barn to be part of a brand new website featuring handmade and upcycled crafts from all over Great Britain. WowThankYou has just launched its site promoting British businesses and providing a showcase for unique handmade British crafts.

We made Wow some Bespoke Bunting to match their homepage and this is their cat nestling in the swag of flags. Watch out ladies, keep bunting out of the reach of children and pets!

Zigzag is delighted to join Wow Thank You as they promote local businesses and help Britain recover from an over-indulgence in imported crafts that have been made cheaply but with no regard for human decency or fair treatment. Here at Zigzag our child labour is well-rewarded ! Please visit their website and take a peek at the many wonderful British crafts on offer.

Black and White Bunting

Those lovely bunting commissions keep rolling in: this beautiful swag was made to measure for a large kitchen noticeboard. The range of designs gives a smart look to this designer bunting and our customer is delighted.

Bespoke Coral Bunting


I have just finished making this lovely commission for bunting in shades of coral and peach with black check: I think I have done them proud!

We had none of these fabrics in stock but I was able to make use of our sourcing contacts to track down fabrics and ribbon that fit the bill, and since they wanted to bring in an extra touch of black I finished the flags with pretty zigzag stitching. It just goes to show that you can match just about any colour scheme with beautiful bunting.
