{ Vintage Chic Rag Banner }

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!!

    This is so adorable. My little boy’s first birthday is coming up, and I’m thinking this would be great for it (in a boy version, of course!)

    I love this Nd am doing one now for my sons first birthday. I am actually wanting to clip around his wooden high chair. Any suggestions on how I could clip it?

    Thanks so much for the tips and idea!

      Hi Michelle! Thanks for stopping by! Would trying something like a 3M hook work? You could attach it to each side of the high chair and easily remove afterwards! I hope that helps 😉
