Shab Couture - Ragtag Garland

I moved away from Christmas colors and made the second ragtag garland for everyday use.  My oldest wanted a black/white/pink one for her dorm room, so this is the final product.

The Ragtag Garland I made for Autumn 2012 was an adorable accent.  I used it as a banner on my mantle for a while and then moved it to kitchen window sill with some Autumn accents.

Crimson and Holly - Ragtag Garland

I stumbled across this really cute idea off this blog site that I fell in love with ~ the site and the project idea.

My version of the project is here:

What you need for this is:

a strand of white lights (either 50 or 100 depending on the length you want)
strips of fabric, ribbon and tulle in your selected colors


about 4 hours for assembling

What I did for mine was to take old clothing I bought at a Salvation Army and cut into strips.  The ribbon was the most expensive item, aside from the lights.

Each strip should be about 3 - 5 inches.  I did a variety of lengths and widths which made it look lots fuller, more 3D.
