Red, White and Blue Frayed Rag Garland
Happy Memorial Day weekend friends! 🇺🇸
And let's remember today and always, those that gave their lives for our freedom!
Today I made an easy frayed rag garland flag to hang around my house.
I love the colors of the flag and this easy project can be left up all summer!
I began this project with red, white and blue fat quarters I bought from JoAnn fabrics.
You can find many different kinds on Amazon too.
I also used a piece of white scrap fabric for the white strips.

I clipped the ends of my fabric every inch and tore the fabric down the length, the size is up to you.
My fabric strips were about 1" x 14".
For the first garland I hitched the strips around a piece of macrame cord.
I had a lot of cord leftover from my recent macrame projects.
First I hitched the blue strips and then the red and white strips.
I hitched 12 blue strips then alternated 12 red and 12 white strips for my flag garland.
That's it, I hung it on the wooden star I made a while back that hangs in my kitchen waiting for the next holiday decoration to adorn it.
I made the wooden star similar to this one.
I had more fabric leftover so I started another garland.
This time I tied a wooden bead to the ends of the macrame twine.
I tied each of the fabric strips to the string with one knot on only one end.
First I tied all the blue strips, then all the red strips.
On the blue strips I hot glued a white doilie that reminded me of a star on the field of blue.
This garland looks great hung from my DIY repurposed hook rack.

It also works tied by my front door on the board and batten wall I built a while back.
These garlands are so easy to make and they can be made with new fabric or recycled clothing from the thrift store.
