With endless color options, fabric garlands are a fantastic way to add color and texture to a room. They can also make for fun party decor or photo props.

Supplies:
– fabric (new or use up old scraps!)
– ribbon or twine
– tape
– scissors

Start with lightweight fabrics that coordinate with your color scheme.

Cut the fabric into strips approximately 1.5″ wide and 22″ long. The edges will fray a bit, but that just adds character to your garland.
TIP: Every 10″ of completed garland will require 14 fabric strips.

Cut ribbon or twine to your desired length. Leaving a little extra on the ends for tying later, secure it taught to a table top with tape at both ends.
