We love a paper decoration here at Petra Boase and with The Queen's Jubilee fast approaching I wanted to share my 'go to' DIY paper bag decorations. Whether you are part of a full scale village green or street party or quietly raising a glass at home, these decorations are fun for all ages to get involved in and make. While we have stuck to a red, white and blue theme here, the same decorations can be created and adapted for other celebrations in different colour combinations.

Photoshoot Location
The Queen's love for her horses has always been strong, so my friend Charlie's converted vintage horse box (where she runs her Norfolk bike hire business, Vintage Village Velos) felt the perfect backdrop for this photoshoot. Attentively restored and ooozing with charm, the compact space was a real joy to style and bring to life with our decorations and the natural just light flooded in. Photos all taken on my I Phone 11
