One of the first few posts to this craft blog was for a Halloween banner using fabric scraps. It's been on my Crafty Swab Bucket List ever since I posted about it. Yesterday I rummaged through the fabric stash and pulled out seasonal autumn fabric, ribbon, hem facing/seam binding, ric rac, lace, and yarn to create this banner. No sewing required!
To make:
-fabric scraps
-other scraps including ribbon, lace, yarn, etc.
-pinking shears or scissors
-ribbon or string to hang up the banner
The scraps of fabric were cut into strips of various sizes. Some were only 1"-2" wide and other up to 4-5" wide. Their lengths varied as well-anywhere from 6"-16". I used the pinking shears to cut ragged/jagged edges to the fabric to give it the texture of autumn leaves.
The scraps were tied on without knotting. That way if I needed to rearrange it would be much easier to do that.
Cost: ΓΈ
I'm not sure yet if I like the way the banner is hanging on the wall. I may be repositioning it at some point.

That turned out INCREDIBLY cute! Also, side note: I need you to photograph my craft projects from now on :-) My photos always make my projects looks lumpy. Not really sure how that happens. Yours look fab!
