According to Wikipedia...

Traditionally, the flag may be decorated with golden fringe surrounding the
perimeter of the flag itself as long as it does not deface the flag proper.
Ceremonial displays of the flag, such as those in parades or on indoor
posts, often utilize fringe to enhance the beauty of the flag. The first
recorded use of fringe on a flag dates from 1835, and the Army used it
officially in 1895. No specific law governs the legality of fringe, but a
1925 opinion of the attorney general approves the use of fringe. The United
States Institute of Heraldry also confirms that there are no implications of
symbolism in the use of fringe.
