Easy Thanksgiving Rag Banner
The best thing about this project was that it was free!

You can see by the price on the package that it was $7.99 but with 40% off all Thanksgiving items and then my Michaels rewards, it was free!
If you don't happen to have a Thanksgiving banner you can always use wooden letters from the craft store!
The first thing I did was to gather ribbon and fabric scraps in beautiful fall colors.
Browns, oranges, checks, and a vintage barkcloth fabric I've had for years were perfect for this project!
I ripped and cut each fabric into 1"-1 1/2" strips that were about 8-12" long.
If you cut a little strip in the fabric you can tear it all the way down and get strips that are frayed on the sides.
I spread out the banner and tied the strips between each letter.
It couldn't be easier and since the fabric and ribbon were scraps I already had, it was still free to make.
The mantel ladder is an easy DIY and the cheese crate with legs have a plaid backing are also DIY tutorials you can view.
This year I am more thankful than ever!
