Continue wedding bunting

I'd love to hear more about the wedding bunting! I've made short ones no longer than 6 feet to 8 feet (2 - 2.5 meters) for holidays. I made those with felt. I've also done ones for birthdays and graduations but they have been with scrapbook paper.

I am not sure how long the bunting needs to be at this stage. I am cutting out all the triangles first (I am also doing smaller triangles for the back of chairs)and then will start sewing it onto the bias binding that I will be using. I think DD has the dimensions for the reception space so will try and sort it out from that. I think in the end there will be something like 400 flags.
