Getting ready for Fourth of July festivities? I don’t usually go all out and over-the-top to decorate for the 4th of July so when I was deciding on what to make for the Celebrate Summer Blog Hop, I knew I wanted to make something quick, easy and cheap inexpensive using supplies that I already had.

I have a ton of ribbon. Lots and lots of ribbon. I really must cancel my subscription to the monthly ribbon club!

Here’s what you’ll need to make this garland:

  • rope
  • ribbon, lots and lots of ribbon (or fabric scraps, old t-shirts, etc)
  • scissors

I cut the ribbon into 5 – 6″ lengths and simply tied them onto the rope with a single knot and smush them together. That’s it!

I used ALL of the red, white and bluc ribbon that I own and that determined the length of my garland ; ) I had a long piece of white rope and when I ran out of ribbon, I was done! I cut the rope and tied a knot at each end and attached the ribbon garland to my deck railing.

I am always surprised at how some times the easiest projects make such a big impact. I’m just crazy over this ribbon garland!

I also think this would be adorable made from fabric scraps, similar to the wreath I made a few weeks ago.

To see more fun and creative Celebrate Summer ideas, here’s a collection of recipes and decor projects from my bloggy buddies:

    Very cute. And I agree, it does have a wow impact even though it’s a simple and easy project. I think I’ll make one for our back porch bannister. Thanks for the idea.

    I hate seeing fabric scraps go to waste and this is such a clever way to put them to use. 🙂 Thanks for all your work on this hop!

    […] Anything red, white, or blue that you have around the house is fair game for decorating. Look through your rag bag and cut colorful strips to tie to rope to make a garland. This one is made from ribbon, but you can adapt with fabric strips, tissue paper, or streamers. https://createandbabble.com/red-white-blue-ribbon-garland/   […]
