Fabric Garland Necklace
inspired by this fabric garland
Supplies:
Fabric- in varying colors, patterns, and textures.
fabric scissors
cord measuring about 32" (or whatever your desired length may be)
step 1: cut one strip measuring roughly 1/2"x10" from each type of fabric and place them in the order you want them to appear on the necklace.
step 2: take your first strip of fabric and fold it in half placing a finger in the middle while holding the ends together with the other hand as shown.
step 3: place the folded fabric behind the cord.
step 4: bring the fabric ends in your right hand up over the cord and through the middle of the two strands of fabric in your left hand.
step 5: using one hand to hold down the cord pull the fabric knot tight.
the first knot will look like this
step 6: repeat steps 2 through 5 until you have as many knots as you desire on your necklace cord. here you can cut the ends so that they're all the same length. i personally like mine a little uneven, so i left it as is. you could also jazz it up a little by adding handmade tassels or small beads. tie on your necklace and enjoy!

Oh my goodness, I have been wanting to do a similar thing but put it on Sophie's wall in her room. I think it's super cute. I can tell you put a lot of effort into this blog, the step by step instructions are super handy! Good job! I love it. :-)
