The theme was a You Are My Sunshine type shower, in grey, white and yellow and I wanted something that was easy, but stylish and something that I could drape in doorways, across our fireplace and our 13' spruce shelf near where guests would be sitting.
What'd I do? I got two double/full size flat sheets, a pair of scissors and I started cutting.
Step 1: pick out your bedsheets
Step 2: cut sections 6" wide and the whole length of the sheet
Step 3: cut thinner strips as accents {or even easier...get yourself some spools of ribbon!}
Step 3: cut your 6" wide sections into strips. Be sure not to cut all the way to the top. You'll be left with a really long fringed piece of fabric {which is awesome in and of itself}
Step 4: tie your thinner strips {and ribbon}
Step 5: swag across door ways, fireplaces, wherever you'd like!
Seriously, one of the easiest things I've done in terms of decor. I tied the yellow and charcoal ribbons on with just one knot so that I can replace them and use the fringed garlands over and over.
Pastels for Easter
Red and gold for Christmas
Orange and black for Halloween
The possibilities are endless from just a simple bedsheet that otherwise would have been thrown away!
