9. No-Sew Fabric Scrap Garland
Most sewing enthusiasts and DIYers accumulate a massive stash of fabric scraps and old clothing items that are too small for large projects but too pretty to throw away. A no-sew fabric scrap garland is the ultimate way to put those colorful remnants to good use. Gather all your leftover cotton, linen, flannel, or felt strips and cut them into uniform long strips, roughly one inch wide by six inches long.
Find a long piece of sturdy string, twine, ribbon, or yarn to serve as your main garland anchor line. Simply take each fabric strip and tie it securely onto the string using a basic knot, pushing the knots close together or spacing them out depending on the look you want to achieve. Continue tying until your garland reaches your desired length. Hang this festive, textured fabric banner across a mantel, drape it around a headboard, or use it to decorate a party space for an instant burst of cheerful color and texture.
