DIY Fringe banner
If you’re looking for an easy, budget-friendly way to make a party backdrop or decorate for a celebration, a DIY fringe banner is the way to go, and you only need a few supplies.
You’ll Need:
Here’s how to make one:
Start by laying out your string (or twine, ribbon, whatever you have) on the floor and tape it down so it stays in place. Then, spread out your plastic tablecloth on the floor and scoot it underneath the string. Fold the tablecloth in half over the string so it drapes evenly on both sides.
Next, grab your stapler and staple the folded edge right below the string every 6–8 inches. This will hold the tablecloth in place and give your banner a sturdy top edge to hang from.
Now it’s time to make it look fringy! Fold the tablecloth up about an inch and a half below the string, then fold it one more time the same way.
Using a rotary cutter or scissors, cut vertical strips into the tablecloth, just up to the bottom of the string, not through it.
Once you’ve cut the whole thing, lightly bunch the tablecloth together with your hands to fluff it up and give it some texture. Then repeat the whole process with more tablecloths until your banner is as long or as full as you want it.
How many tablecloths you’ll need depends on the length and fluffiness you’re going for, but honestly the more the merrier!
Hang it up, step back, and admire your DIY fringe masterpiece. Perfect for birthdays, showers, photo backdrops, or anytime you just want to make a space feel festive.
