Fringe Fabric Banner for Spring
Do you wanna know my favorite part about this project….? All the strips of fabric are torn! Yep! No detail cutting is required. Just use 100% cotton and you can tear the fabric into strips. The fabric all started as white and we painted the fabric with FolkArt Acrylic paints.
Cheerful, fun colors make up a springtime fringe-like garland! This project is so easy to create as well as fun. Let the kids join in the fun helping to paint and even tear strips. This garland can be completed and hung in no time at all!
This project was featured on our Facebook Live Video for Plaid Crafts and JoAnn Fabrics. The grow sign was designed by the design team at Plaid.
