here we go: another super easy, no skill required, fun little craft for you!
i made this fabric garland to hang in our toy room
{this is a live action shot from a sick day at our house - "Dolphin Tale" anyone?}
its fun, festive, and so easy to make.
supplies you need:
rotary cutter & cutting mat {or just a plain old scissors!}
ruler
fabric scraps {anything will do}
ribbon
i had some cloth napkins in bright colors that were screaming for a re-purpose, so i finally decided to do this craft. i followed some advice from Joy's Hope blog to get me started.
i started by ironing out the napkins. then i used a rotary cutter and mat to measure and cut. i measured 1x18 inch strips and cut accordingly. it was a lot of cutting! i think the strips could be longer if your fabric allows - my tassels ended up being pretty short once they were tied on.
i lined up all the fabric strips and got out my ribbon.
i followed a pattern, but random would be really cute, too!
to tie the strips onto/around your ribbon, i followed the steps shown above.
kind-of a loop, more than a traditional tie.
i just kept going until i had a length long enough for the wall i intended the garland to hang on. i used command strips to hold the banner up and we like it!
i'm thinking of making another for my living room using an old tablecloth, some burlap, and ribbon...
happy {un}crafting!
