and some of this..
Equals my curtains!!!
The only thing that drives me a little crazy is that the wrinkles will not come out! I was able to smooth it out.. but I'm sure you could see some of the wrinkles in these pictures. I ironed for hours and finally just had to give up. I have a wonderful sewing machine, but I'm so scared to use it! So I didn't sew one thing on these curtains. Easy peasy AND cheap! ((the drop cloths were $9.70ea or something like that .. the fabric was $4.12 and the hemming tape was just a couple of dollars)). My kind of decorating!
**I think I'll be changing the lampshades out... that's the only white thing in this room. **
** I didn't take a picture of the actual drop cloth and iron-on tape packaging that I bought.. I just googled some images. I think my size drop cloth was different. **
** if you google (use swagbucks.com!! sign up at the bottom! ;)) drop cloth.. you will actually find a lot of projects like mine! they are quite popular! **
**ignore the length on the left side.. that one turned out to be a little bit longer! lol.. I'm done with the notes now! **

They look good (and I promise I didn't notice wrinkles!)! I did almost the exact same thing with our living room curtains. A friend gave me some curtains she was getting rid of, but they were too short for our living room, so I bought one panel of a chocolate brown curtain (there wasn't ANY nice looking brown fabric in any of the stores around here), ripped them to the right size and super-glued 'em to the bottom of my curtains. Easy-peasy! :o)
Oh, I've heard of "staining" fabrics (like your lampshades) with tea or other things... maybe you could try that before you buy new lampshades. :o)
Wow, that is really good!!! I'm totally impressed!
Wow... talk about baby brain. I totally MEANT to say HOT GLUE! I don't even know how I could confuse that with super glue, LOL!
