Halloween Fabric Banner TUTORIAL

good morning! i’m rather excited to show off my latest craft……this adorable fabric halloween banner!

Halloween Fabric Banner

halloween fabric banner. Easy halloween craft idea!

Isn’t this scrappy Halloween fabric banner so stickin’ cute?! i  love the all the colors in the fabrics. and it was SOooo easy to make! i love what it adds to my mantel. so much color and fun-ness!

i love it on my mantel! it adds so much color and texture.  it would also be so cute on a shelf, in a doorway, or for your Halloween party draped on tables or something.

ok, now onto this festive Halloween banner tutorial! this is such an easy craft {as my friend cara said, ‘it is relaxing and fun to make’} and perfect for the kids to help with!

Supplies: 1 yard total of halloween theme/color fabric, rotary or scissors, 90″ of rope or piping, and fray check.

1. apply fray check to the ends of your rope to seal them. you may also do this with a lighter, but it will leave the ends black. i’ve also heard that clear nail polish works for this as well.

2. cut your fabric into 1″x 9″ strips which will be approx 140 strips. you will most likely have extras depending on how close together you tie them.

3. how to knot each strip: fold your fabric strip in half {so it measures 1″ x 4.5″} with right sides together. put your finger in the loop that is created and place under the rope, as shown above. you will then fold the 2 ends of the strip over the rope and through the loop that your finger is in.

{big thanks to cara for being my hand model!}

4. pull the ends through the loop and pull tight.

5. push the knots together so that you cannot see the rope between the knots. *Tip: do not scrunch them too much! you want to be able to see the patterns on the fabrics.

6. Repeat Steps 3-5 for each fabric strip until you have the length desired for your banner.
