Out of all the garlands I've made over the years, the RAG GARLAND has always been my favorite! It's bright, colorful, super-easy to make and it looks fantastic inside or outside, day and night!
The RAG GARLAND is fun for the holidays, but can be made and used for any time of the year. I put ours up for Christmas, but I didn't make the color scheme ultra-Christmassy...I love color and can't seem to limit myself to just red and green! The best place to find cheap and funky fabric is at antique stores, thrift stores or flea markets...any leftovers can be used to make lil rag tag skirts or tutus for your little ones.
Materials needed:
-fabric
-scissors
-string of lights
First, cut your fabric into strips about 2 inches wide and about 12 inches long.
Next, tie each fabric strip around the string of lights with a single, basic knot. If the fabric is blank on the underside, just fold the fabric over before knotting it. Repeat until the string of lights is covered.
This is a garland we made for Steamys, a local coffee shop/book store/gift shop in town. We used vintage fabrics to make it extra funky! It's super long and is for sale...if anyone's interested, just message me!
Happy garland making!!!
