Here is an easy way for you to make grain sack ribbon yourself!

I'm including my Amazon affiliate links so you can access the products I used for this project. 

I began with washed and bleached painter's drop cloth


I cut a slit into the edge of the fabric making a 3" section
and I tore it all the way down the length of the fabric.

I removed the strings and was left with a long fringed ribbon,
don't worry about the fringe, it stays without unraveling.

Using a paint stick marker I drew a thick line and then 2 thinner lines down the center of the ribbon.

I love the perfect imperfect grain sack look.

On another ribbon I wrote the word "joy" using a gold paint stick marker and used this one around my tree at Christmas.
