Red gingham plaid country rag-tie fabric banner

Plaid handmade rag-tie banner

Add country style with these handmade fabric garlands. Whether used in a nursery or for an event like a birthday party, this handmade rag-tie fabric banner adds just the right amount rustic flair to the space. 

The banner is made using various raw-cut cotton fabric strips, burlap ribbon, and grosgrain ribbon that range between 18” and 24” long. They are then tied onto a thick strand of twine. The overall length of the fabric portion of the garland may be between 3 and 8 feet long depending on your preference, with roughly 12" of additional twine on each end for easy hanging.

Because these garlands are made using vintage fabrics, new fabrics, and various types of ribbon, each one will have its own unique characteristics. However, the overall pattern, color combination, and theme will be the same.

Materials:
Cotton, grosgrain ribbon, and twine;

Dimensions:
From 36” and 96" long of fabric
From 60” and 120" long overall

Care instructions:
To ensure your garland lasts for years to come, any stains should be spot-cleaned only. Over time, there will be some natural fraying of the fabric, which only adds to its shabby chic style. If you prefer the strips to have a cleaner edge, however, any stray strands may be easily cut with scissors.

How to style:
Cozy holiday mantel -
Drape this red gingham banner across a living room fireplace mantel. Layer it over a fresh cedar or pine evergreen garland and place lanterns at either end to emphasize a rustic country Christmas aesthetic. 

Festive photoshoot backdrop -
Hang the garland along a wall or wooden headboard to serve as a vintage backdrop for holiday family cards or infant milestones. Accent the scene with neutral cotton cream throws and pillows to ground the bold checkerboard patterns.

Charming nursery accent -
Suspend the fabric strips above a wooden crib or along a floating nursery wall shelf. Coordinate the red and tan tones with natural wood tones and burlap elements for a cozy, year-round cottage chic look.
