{ Vintage Chic Rag Banner }

April 29, 2013 by Fotini Filed Under: fabric banner, girl birthday, rag banner, scrap banner, second birthday party, Vintage chic, vintage chic birthday party 34 Comments

I absolutely adore preparing for my kids’ birthdays! It’s soo much fun πŸ™‚ 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!)

    This might be a silly question but it dont look like yours ends are frayed?? are they? I did this and my end and sides are frayed bad

      Not silly at all! They didn’t fray terribly, but they did begin to after a while. You can use an affordable solution like “Fray Stop” from the craft store!

      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 πŸ˜‰
