DIY Scrap Fabric Backdrop {Vintage Equestrian Party}

 This weekend was my daughter’s 2nd birthday. I still can’t believe she’s 2. I know it’s such a cliché, but time goes by so fast!!

Her party was a Vintage Equestrian theme. No she didn’t request ‘vintage equestrian’ but she loves animals and I’m sure I’ll only have a few years to be able to decorate the way I want to. Actually, I’m pretty sure she’ll have her own request by next year. My son puts in his birthday party theme request about six months before his birthday!

Today I’m sharing with you how to make a scrap fabric backdrop.

And best part? It’s really easy to make!

{And in case you missed it, I got a new rustic side table!}

 All you need for this project is:

SUPPLIES:

  • twine
  • scrap fabric {at least two different types of fabric, I used bed linens for the floral fabric!}
  • scissors

TUTORIAL

1. Fold over your fabric so you cut double at a time. The beige linen strips were longer than the floral strips. {I washed and dried my strips and they became a tangled mess afterwards. More work but you’ll get a nice fringe on the linen.}

2. Fold the fabric scrap over a long piece of twine and knot it in the middle. Then knot it again.

3. You might want to tie the ends of twine to table or chair legs to keep it straight while you’re knotting away.

4. I did 2 floral strips then 1 linen strip. Keep knotting fabric over until you’re happy with how much you have. My project: 15 beige linen strips and 28 floral bedsheet strips.

And that’s it! I hung the twine on three Command Strips over the party curtains I made last year.

I absolutely love how it turned out and I really want to make some more…I just need to find the time.

It’s feeling pretty Monday like today but I did It’s feeling pretty Monday like today but I did manage to get a load of work done. That’s feels good for a start of the week. 💚 Design dilemma: did you know that changing the doors and trim work jn your house can bring it up to date? If you skip it during a renovation, your house will still look dated. Swipe to see a before photo in my house. Such a difference it makes, right? 💚➡️ Check stories for more details in my blog post.

Recently I wrote a blog post all about Chantilly L Recently I wrote a blog post all about Chantilly Lace by @benjaminmoore. First, I love Simply White. I’ve painted it everywhere in my house, walls, cabinets, doors, trim. The color is perfect in my house. In some houses it shows a yellow undertone. If it does, White Dove is usually a great choice. But this is what I learned about 6 months ago in a color course I took, Chantilly Lace has nearly zero undertone! 💚➡️ Be sure to check out my blog post on Chantilly Lace and all the real house examples. I also have posts on the best way to pick white & grey paint colors in your home. I’ll leave direct links in stories & in a highlight in my profile. 💚
