This rag tie garland is a fun inexpensive project that is just adorable for the Christmas season! \"\"<\/em><\/p>\n

We recently added a giant chalkboard<\/a> to the playroom and I knew I wanted a fun garland to drape across it at Christmas time. \u00a0Rag garlands can be so expensive so I decided I would make my own. \u00a0All the fabric I used and Jute string was on sale and I purchased it at Hobby Lobby. \u00a0I think the only fabric that was not on sale was the buffalo check but I used my 40% coupon. \u00a0My garland needed to be approximately 11 feet long to properly drape across the chalkboard. \u00a0I know everyone’s garlands will be different sizes, but I will share what I used so you can make adjustments accordingly. \u00a0I chose to use more of the red and buffalo check fabric so that those colors would stand out more.<\/p>\n

Supplies:<\/h2>\n

Natural Jute String<\/p>\n

scissors<\/p>\n

Red fabric- 1 yard- cut in stripes about 11 inches long and approximately 2 inches wide.<\/p>\n

Buffalo check fabric- 1 yard-cut the same as above<\/p>\n

Green fabric- 1\/2 yard- cut the same as above<\/p>\n

White print fabric- 1\/2 yard- cut the same as above<\/p>\n

1 Burlap roll- This came in a roll I think about 6 feet long and it is about 6 inches wide. \u00a0I roughly cut it every 12 inches and then each of those 12 inch pieces I cut into about three, 2 inch strips.<\/p>\n

*Once I had the length of my fabric cut I just eyeballed it and cut my 2 inch strips to make it go quick. \u00a0Since this was just going to be tied up anyway it did not have to be perfect.<\/p>\n

Once your fabric is all cut you are ready to start tying. \u00a0I made a little knot at the end of each side of my jute string so my fabric knots would not slide off the end. \u00a0This won’t even show when your fabric is tied on and then you also have a loop on each end if you ever needed that for hanging it up. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Then you take your strips of fabric and one at a time tie it in a knot around the jute string starting at one end and working your way over. \u00a0I chose to follow a pattern when tying my fabric. \u00a0I went red, buffalo check, white, red, buffalo check, green, burlap…. then repeat. \"\"<\/p>\n

Put on a Christmas movie and tie away!! \u00a0I did this in about 3 sittings at about 45 min to an hour at a time, and I think this cost me maybe $15!?! \u00a0You definitely can’t purchase an 11 ft rag garland for that!! \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

I just love how this turned out to help decorate the playroom for Christmas! \"\"<\/p>\n

Here it is up close. \"\"<\/p>\n
