Lacy Beauty
The first step? Check out your linen closet or local department
store for sheets and table linens that can be transformed into
creative curtains.
Lace makes for an elegant window
treatment, softening the light and casting intricate shapes and
shadows. But instead of going out to buy lace curtains, rummage
in your closet for a handy alternative: a lace tablecloth. This
project requires no cutting or sewing, which would damage the
fabric. So when you get tired of the curtain or want to rest
the textile, you can put it back in the closet or on the table.
This project will cost $30-50
(including the curtain rod), and should take about an hour to
complete. Best of all, you only need basic beginner's skills!
What You Need:
- Lace tablecloth
- Clip-on drapery rings
- 1/2-inch (or less) diameter
curtain rod and its mounting hardware
- Ribbon for gathering the curtain
Instructions:
1. Install the rod. Do this according to manufacturer's
instructions.
2. Trim sheets, if necessary, to floor length.
