NAIDOC Week & Reconciliation

Celebrate indigenous culture with our NAIDOC Week craft ideas.

NAIDOC Week Bunting 2024

Get ready to celebrate NAIDOC Week this year with our beautiful bunting, designed by Kerri-Ann Taggart, an Indigenous digital artist from the Wonnarua area.

Kerri-Ann explains the inspiration for her artwork: “A gathering of the past, present and future Aboriginal culture beams into our community like a bright burning sun. It's light reminds us that we are what keeps the fire alive!”

CleverPatch™ recommends educators, teachers and event organisers work in consultation with their local Aboriginal Communities (start locally and extend out geographically) when planning activities & learning experiences. Any creative or art making activity that mirrors or replicates Aboriginal cultural experiences should always be undertaken in consultation with the appropriate owners of that cultural property.

  • Step 1Download and print as many copies of the template as needed. The more templates you print, the longer your bunting will be. We recommend printing onto cover paper, as this provides a great surface for decorating and creating your bunting!
  • Step 2Colour and decorate the bunting templates with your favourite craft materials. You could choose to use markers, pencils or even paint. Allow to dry if needed.
  • Step 3Cut out the bunting along the bold, black outline. Adult supervision is recommended when using scissors.
  • Step 4Mountain fold along the dotted line. Place a long length of twine underneath the top of the folded paper and glue the tab over the top of the twine. Repeat this process to attach multiple bunting pieces along the length of twine.

  • Step 5Your NAIDOC Week Bunting is now ready to hang!
