NAIDOC Week & Reconciliation

Celebrate indigenous culture with our NAIDOC Week craft ideas.

NAIDOC Week 2025 Bunting

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

 

Kerri-Ann explains the inspiration for her artwork: 

“The art featured throughout my 2025 NAIDOC collection are my representation of this year's theme: The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy. The motif of three connected concentric circles not only representing the generational stages throughout life (past, present and future generations), but the three pillars that ensure we have culture for these future generations. Strength for us to be proud of who we are, vision to have a future where our culture is strong and legacy, never forget the ones who taught us what we know now.”

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 1Kerri-Ann has designed the templates with varying levels of detail to be inclusive for all ages and abilities. Download and print as many copies of the templates as needed. Your bunting length will be dependent on how many templates you print. We recommend printing onto cover paper, as this provides a sturdier surface for decorating and creating your bunting!
  • Step 2Choose markers, pencils or paint to decorate your bunting pieces. Allow to dry if needed.
  • Step 3Use the solid black outline as a guide to cut out each bunting template. Adult supervision is recommended when using scissors.
  • Step 4Mountain fold along the dotted line at the top of each bunting template. Place a long length of twine underneath the folded paper and glue the tab to the back of the template to secure it to the twine. Repeat this process to attach multiple bunting pieces along the length of twine.
