Quick and Cheap Costume Fringe - How to Make Inexpensive Fringe

By Debbie Colgrove, About.com Guide

Many costumes need fringe to make it complete. Create your own fringe and save a bundle. It's easier than you think!

Find a fabric that does not fray, such as felt, fleece or artificial suede.
Cut the fabric in to strips the width of the desired fringe and the amount needed to attach the fringe to the costume.
Mark off the amount needed to sew the fringe to the costume.
Cut the fringe area, perpendicular to the long edge of the strip, at evenly spaced intervals to create the fringe.
Hand or machine sew the fringe to the costume. If you are creating the costume from scratch, sew the attachment area inside the seam.
