Scrap Fabric Rag Bunting | Trash to Treasure

Do you have scrap fabric kicking around? Why not make a scrap fabric rag bunting? It’s easy and will only take a few minutes.

Oh how I love cheap and easy! Cheap and easy projects of course! Case in point, this adorable rag bunting was made entirely of scrap pieces of fabric I already had in my sewing drawer. And let me assure you I do not have a large stash. These were literally scraps out of the one drawer I have for fabric. They also happen to be the only ones that coordinated.

I just love happy accidents.

Instructions:

rag bunting step 1 cut

1. Make a small cut into fabric about every inch or so. Give or take a half inch.

2. Pull fabric on either side of cut, tearing strips.

RAG BUNTING LAID OUT

3. If you want a balanced rag bunting and you don’t have an equal number of fabric strips in each fabric, lay out fabric to find a nice balance.

4. Tie jute or hemp cord/string to a chair. Tie other end (I always leave it attached to the ball/roll until I’ve finished so I can judge the length then) to another chair. This step makes it so much easier to do step 5.

RAG BUNTING IN PROGRESS

5. Starting on one end, tie fabric to cord/string in a simple knot. Repeat for all fabric strips.

Then simply fluff, hang and enjoy!

Do you like buntings and banners for parties only or for all the time?

My aha moment was when you talked about undertones!

I found my style and was able to bring our small space together by creating a cozy and inviting home for our family of 8! My aha moment was when you talked about undertones! At first I was confused about what the undertone of my room really was. But after carefully analyzing the details I figured it out! That was the moment when I could bring everything together.

I’m falling in love with our home all over again.

My ah-ha moment was when I realized how much time and money we have spent in the past couple of years because I was going about things all the wrong way. I have painted rooms, changed decor and bought things over and over again and just could not get comfortable. I loved the house but it didn't feel like home. We did not focus on our true design style and never finished a room. It caused us to purchase things we didn't love. BUT now because of your course, we have found our style, re-focused on our whole home design plan and are decorating one room at a time. It is really exciting and I am falling in love with our home all over again."

Lightbulb moment!

Your explanation of paint colors was the light bulb moment for me! Your explanation would have saved us from painting a room twice along with saving money for the painter's extra visit. I am enjoying your teaching.  Thanks!

Oh Shannon, thank you, thank you thank you!!  I wish I could download you and take you with me, but your Decor Staples Checklist has definitely given me the guidance and filled me with the confidence I need!

Love this idea!

Orbs are such a great decor item to add to a space. Staining the hoops really gives them a vintage feel. Thanks for the inspiration
