DIY: making zero waste garlands from leftovers
Zero waste garlands from leftover fabrics: we show you how to make this in four easy steps and how to get the coolest fabrics for next to nothing!
Tools
- fabric/lace scraps
- scissors
- rope or cord
Instructions
- Cut the fabric into strips, I cut strips about 5 cm x 45 cm.
- It works easiest if you can stretch your rope where you are going to tie the strips, somewhere between. For example, between two chairs.
- Attach the strips to the rope with a loop. To do this, fold the strip in half, hold the loop behind the rope and then pass the two ends, in front of the rope, through the loop (lark's head or frivolité knot).
- Attach all your strips to the rope like this. If you want a full garland, knot the strips close together.
