How To Make Fabric Garland {diy}

Fabric garland is a cheap and beautiful way to add to a decorative table, mantle or party. They are very easy to make and inexpensive. They are a quick DIY project and I can't think of a better use for your scrap fabric.

I made this one for Whitney's Valentine's Day pictures.  Next Valentine's Day I'm sure I will decorate our mantle with it.

Supplies:

• Twine, ribbon or some sort of string
• Scraps of fabric
• Scissors

First:

• Measure how long you want your garland to be then cut your twine about 20 inches longer on both sides so you have room to tie it to something.

Second:

• Cut your fabric into strips 2"x7". 

Third:

• Tie a knot with your twine where you want to begin the garland, like the pictures below. It makes it easier to push the tied pieces of fabric together to give a fuller look.

Fourth:

• Start tying your fabric onto the twine. Just one simple knot works perfect, just make sure to tie it tight I used 6 different fabrics and just randomly tied them on, so it wasn't in any sort of pattern.
