Fail?

So using my $4 Fabricland material, and $6 in hardware costs from Walmart, Alexis now has a curtain over her seemingly eye-sore of a window in her playroom.


It went from this ...

Lovely isn't it?  For starters half of the clips to hang them were missing or broken, and it was covered in dust (ew) and spider webs! So they went right into the garbage as well.

So like I said, using my $4 fabric and this amazing stuff, which is called HeatBond - so it requires NO sewing! Just a good old fashioned iron (that I had to dig out of somewhere because we never use it! I was surprised I actually found it to tell you the truth!)

Then I measured and made a hem around 3 of the edges so that the ends were not all ratty.  The top part of the fabric I doubled the hem so that I could slip my $3 rod through them.

And here is the final product ... tah-da ....

As soon as I put it up - it looked like I just had hung up a shortened sheet, but whatever, its cute and it does the job, and when I put it up I only cursed a couple times after I kept dropping the teeny tiny nails they supply you with.

So this is what the wall looks like now with the added curtain.  Oh and notice how I've started to paint all the wood trim white. I didn't think I was going too, but after we had ripped out the carpet, and started to look around the room, we figured it would look the best and we had the paint anyways. Stay tuned for more!
