rag banner Archives - Farmhouse Chic Blog

I had so much fun sharing bits and pieces of Isabella’s second birthday party with you guys and now it’s time to share it entirely! We had a wonderful day celebrating with family and friends!

The color scheme was turquoise, pinks and neutral tones and the theme was shabby chic. You don’t have to spend a lot of money to make a party look great and well- thought out. I get a lot of my stuff from Michaels dollar bins, dollar stores, Target dollar corner, etc. Once you’ve chosen your theme and colors, you’d be surprised how great things start coming together 🙂

I absolutely adore preparing for my kids’ birthdays! It’s soo much fun 🙂 This year for Isabella’s second birthday, I’ve decided to go with a Vintage Chic theme with the main colors being pinks, turquoise and neutrals. I started getting my inspiration, at none other than the craft store! I headed to Jo Ann Fabrics and immediately started finding the 18”x20” pre-cut fabrics for $1.99 each, in the perfect colors! I began mismatching different ones, until I was happy with the result! What am I making with these precious fabrics you ask? An adorable rag banner, that’s what!

Here’s what you’re going to need:

5 different fabrics, each 18”x20”
scissors
yarn or jute

Start by laying out your fabric and cutting about 1” strips. I felt like I was going to be cutting in my sleep, ugh! I used yarn for the base of the banner, cut to desired length. To begin, fold each strip of fabric in half, hold the top of the loop and feed the bottoms through and pull taught. This easily creates a knot and keeps the fabric in place. Continue for each strand of fabric until completed! Once you get in the groove, it goes rather quickly!

I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out!! It’s so stunning and perfect for any little girl! This adorable banner will adorn the birthday table, and I plan to put it in her bedroom afterwards as part of her decor!!

Be sure to check back next week for the full birthday party reveal!!
