Fabric garland
I’m sure there are versions that look a lot more elegant as well as finished, so I’ll explain this material banner as quick as well as dirty. The material is heavier than cotton indicated for quilting. I assumption it’s upholstery-weight fabric.
I cut triangles with pinking shears, half from one pattern, half from a different pattern in the exact same color palette. then I sewed one long stitch across the top. ideally you’d have a long piece of complimentary-colored ribbon as well as utilize that to both safe the triangles as well as to tie to some nails in the wall. however this technique resulted in a banner that has held up for a lot more than five years, as well as I believe it took me about ten minutes to make. It assisted me turn my gender neutral nursery into a infant girl’s room. (The crib utilized to be where that play kitchen area now stands.)
