I have been working on a small project to add some texture and personality to my apartment. My Thrifty String Art Made with Embroidery Hoops was fun to make while I binged on TV shows all weekend.

Easy DIY String Fringe Tutorial

April 10, 2019 By Meegan 12 Comments

Well, well! We finally moved into our new place almost two weeks ago. But, time has flown by me without even a blink. The day after we moved in, I was HIT by the flu. I mean, it rocked my boat. Feverish, nausea, sleeping continually. I haven’t been that sick in years. It took me about ten days before I could even walk outside to see our new surroundings. Whew! I am glad my husband didn’t get it, and I hope you don’t get it either! But, while I was lying around, I thought about decorating our new home. I thought about the style I want to create, the colors and crafts to make our home fresh. One thing that I did was to make an Easy DIY String Fringe Tutorial.

I could see it i my mind before I even made it. I knew I had the string and all I would need would be a few other components to make an Easy DIY String Fringe Tutorial.

It is really simple and super easy to make. You can use it for party decorations, Boho style decor, adding some flair to your vintage pieces or even as a garland for a mantel.
