Ric rac is an embellishment trim used on fabric and clothing. Made of cotton or polyester, it is stitched or glued to the edges of an item to give it a homespun look. Its zig-zag configuration repeats every third of an inch (about one centimeter) and is sold in multiple colors and textures. Ric rac's popularity peaked in the 1970's and is associated with the "Little House on the Prairie" and the pioneer sentiment brought about by the 1976 American bicentennial.
