Hi, I’m Danielle and I am OBSESSED with the new Memphis fringe backdrop craze. You can make them any color, any size AND hang it however you like 🤩. Here are the deets to my Butterfly Themed Memphis Fringe Backdrop.
For starts
To reference the size on mine it is just about 9.5 feet wide and 8 feet tall. There is a smaller one on Amazon here that I want to get but you can find the one I used here.
For the bigger patches of colors I used 3 table clothes and for the iridescent and gold I used foil fringe curtains like this one.
When I started my Memphis fringe backdrop project I wasn’t 100% sure what I was doing and what colors I wanted to use so I grabbed anything that felt like it would work and went with it. When I do it again I will definitely use Walmart or Amazon table cloths because the Dollar tree ripped easily and got annoying after awhile.

- I have a large self healing mat from Cricut that I LOVE, but you can find one here from amazon at a better price.
- You will also need a Rotary Cutter
- A strong string like twine to hang it on
- Plastic ruler, I use this Cricut one for everything and it’s been the best craft addition for the last 5 years.

This project does take some time. I did mine in about 48 hours with only sleeping in between so I recommend giving yourself at least a week if you don’t want to be rushed like myself.
This is a very easy project
It may look intimidating but it’s not and once you start you will get the hang of it.
- I kept my table clothes folded for the most part. I only unfolded it once and rarely had a problem
- Cut strips an inch and half and leave them at height of the table cloth it comes folded in
- When ready unfold strip and fold in half, place being the twine and pull ends through the loop to attached it. If you have ever made a tutu or ribbon garland it is exactly like that. For reference it is a slip knot.
- Try to keep the ends even but they do not have to be perfect
- Continue to add the colors you like and go until yours is complete
