I've been working so hard on my Halloween decor that I neglected my Fall decor.
Since we're hosting Thanksgiving dinner at our house, I decided to get started before it's too late.
My grandmother gave me a ton of old fabric not so long ago. So I dug through the mounds of fabric and I found this long piece of brownish golden fabric.
I started unraveling it and I decided it would be perfect to tie around the dining room chairs. So I cut 6 pieces all the same size (I didn't measure them) to fit around the back of the chair.
I knew I had to add something extra to the center of the tie. I decided to use two pieces of raffia.
I matched both ends of the raffia together to measure the same length.
Then I connected the bottom ends to the top ends.
I cut the opposite end that formed a loop. Repeat this step until you've reached the size that works for you.
Take a piece of the cut raffia and use it to tie the other pieces together forming a bundle.
Now, embellish the bundle!
I wanted the option to use these in places other than on the fabric so I added a bobby pin to the back with hot glue. I didn't want the bobby pin to show so I added a piece of fabric with Fabri-tac.
Attach your piece of fabric to wherever you choose and pin on the embellishment.
You could use anything as an embellishment...acorns, pine cones, miniature scarecrows, etc. You could also use ribbon instead of fabric for the chairs.
This is just the beginning.....I have so many more ideas so stay tuned!
