So whether you're heading to a public event, joining a street party, or just hosting a get-together in the garden, you may be hoping to get your hands on some coronation-themed decorations to mark the royal occasion. Bunting is an easy and affordable way to spruce up a space but there are lots of other options on the supermarket shelves. Female Little Bunting (Heuksando, South Korea,9 May 2009). This female Little Bunting strongly resembles the autumn bird pictured in photo 3, sharing the characteristic red ear coverts, lores and fore-supercilium, but here the red also extends onto the central crown-stripe. Note also the bold white eyering and the largely grey-brown upperparts which have reddish hues restricted to the scapulars, tertials and inner greater coverts. The slim bill is shown well here, as is the somewhat short-tailed look of Little Bunting and its typical creeping, 'low to the ground' posture (Aurélien Audevard). To make the banner, cut a wood dowl or bamboo skewer a little longer than the bunting (optional painting). Push through the casing, tie thread to hang. Tie on ribbons to hang down on both sides. So from coronation bunting to party decorations and more, here's what's available from M&S, Aldi, Morrisons, Tesco and more this year. M&S

Male Rustic Bunting (Seasalter, Kent, 21 November 2010).With a well-marked head and dark red washes on the body, this bird would readily catch the eye. The supercilium is long, broad and creamy, the ear coverts strongly 'framed' with a pale area at the rear, while there is also a pale central crown stripe in the raised crest (this is usually flat in the field). Washes of red on the nape, scapulars, breast-sides, flanks, rump and uppertail coverts (the last not seen here)are characteristic of Rustic Bunting, while the bill is typically stout and triangular with a straight culmen (Steve Ray). Place the cap of maintenance fur trim over the bottom of the crown frame A and B. You may want to add more white wool. You can either stitch it in place or felt it in place. With bits of raven wool felt the ermine spots. The species has a noticeably stubby-looking bill with a slightly convex culmen. A closer look will reveal a bird with strong ginger hues in the scapulars and wing feather fringes (including the lesser coverts), with contrasting greys in the rump and dirty grey-lined flanks. The best clue of all, however, is the call: a high-pitched tseeeu or a strangely jarring dzink. Step 9: Without turning your piece, slip stitch into the side of your piece, adding one slip stitch per row. Slip stitch across your original CH 9 and then up the other side of your piece. Slip stitch into the first SC of the CH 7 space. Snip off your yarn.

Blanket stitch the two crown frames outside and inside of the edges (do not stitch the center or fleur de lis) leavening the bottom open. Note the extra stitch line on the frame. This will create a casing. His Royal Highness looks regal sitting in harmony with bunches of vintage blooms, including roses and dahlias, and as the pennants of this bunting are printed on both sides, it looks blooming lovely from every angle. Rustic Bunting has always been scarcer in Britain than Little. As with the latter, it is perhaps best sought in autumn on the Northern Isles, but Scilly is also a regular venue. Between these poles, however, it is a quality find. Pallas's Reed Bunting is only likely to be confused with Reed Bunting. It shares that species' long-tailed appearance, but is very small with a short primary projection and, at least in first-winters, is generally paler and frostier with a conspicuous pale buff rump and, most important of all in any plumage, grey (not chestnut) lesser coverts. The call is arresting: a harsh, sparrow-like cheup, totally unlike Reed Bunting. Stitch the cap of maintenance to crown frame. Now stitch the crown base to the edge of the crown frame.

Hot glue fur to the headband (make sure the headband is in the center of the fur. Hot glue the edge of the fur and attach to the inside of the headband. Step 2: Chain (CH 10). Make 1 single crochet (SC) in the second loop from hook. Make a total of 9 SCs. CH 1 and turn. Small brown buntings can be a troublesome group, and no more so than in mid to late autumn when the range of possible species is greatest. Here we will focus on the familiar default species, Reed Bunting, and its separation from the most regular of the rare buntings, Little and Rustic. Also included is a brief treatment of two real 'long shots', Pallas's Reed and Chestnut-eared Buntings. Row 5: ch1, 8dc in 8ch loop, [3dc, 3ch, 3dc] in 6 ch loop, 8dc in final 8 ch loop, sl st in last ch, fasten off.Step 6: Slip stitch into the first and second stitches. Make 1 SC and CH 3. Skip one stitch. Make 1 SC and CH 3. Skip one stitch. Then, make 1 SC and slip stitch into the last two. Pin the crown frame B in the center of the bunting. Pin the cap of maintenance in the center of frame. Whip stitch with coordinating floss colours. Cut the 15mm wool ball in half, felt the crown wool mixture over the ball half. Stitch the half ball as shown using all 6 strands of floss. Step 7: CH 7 and make 1 double crochet (DC) in the first CH 3 space. CH 6 and make 1 DC in the second CH 3 space. CH 7 and slip stitch into the last slip stitch.
