How to Add Fringe to Furniture
I attached fringe to my sofa using a temporary solution (if you’re afraid of committing to this type of look), but I’ll share an alternatively more permanent solution later.
Step 1 – Measure and Choose the Right Size Fringe
I measured my sofa legs first to make sure I bought the correct size fringe. The legs on my sofa were 9″ tall, so I ordered 9″ length bullion fringe trim.
You don’t want your fringe to be too short or else it will look like “high waters”. But you don’t want your fringe puddling on the floor either.
I chose this cream colored fringe, but there are all kinds of color options on the market that you can try to customize your look.
Measure the perimeter of your sofa so you know how much fringe you’ll need. My 84″ sofa required 5 yards of fringe.
Step 2 – Attach Fringe
Start attaching the fringe at one corner of the sofa using straight pins. Push the pins through the top of the fringe at an angle into the upholstery. (Pushing them in at an angle will keep them from falling out.)
You’ll need a lot of pins. I easily went through 100 of them.
If you ever decide the fringe isn’t for you anymore later in the future, the pins can be removed fairly easily.
