Fabric Garland - finished garland up close on white fabric backdrop This is a very cute garland that is made with scraps of left over fabric. This garland can be hung as a backdrop for parties, hung in a nursery, along the stairs, mantel, and so forth. It is very easy to make and makes a nice decorative piece that doesn't look cheap!

Total Time: 1-2 hours

Supplies:

fabric
scissors or rotary cutter
twine or thin rope

Fabric Garland - cutting mat and rotary cutter

Steps:

Gather the fabric you want to use. I had a couple of left over pieces of solid colored fabric that I decided to use for making a garland for an upcoming birthday backdrop. The colors I used are pastel purple, green, yellow, white, and pink.
There is no right or wrong length for the garland tassels (since it is totally up to you!) For me I cut the yard in half and then at the bottom of the fabric I cut 1" for a head start to ripping the fabric. Repeat this process and rip until you have all your strips ready to assemble for the garland.

Use a strong twine to tie knots of each strand of fabric to make the tassel.

Continue until you have the garland length you would like! The garland will look nice hung up in the background or in a nursery. You can use nice patterned fabrics too if you want.
