I did lots of crafting this week so here you go:
 |
Here's the before valance I had on the kitchen windows that I did for
VERY cheap when we moved here. I needed an update but didn't want to
spend any money.
|
 |
| All I did was get painters tape, leftover wall paint and white fabric I had. I laid out the painters tape about every 4 cm and then painted with a small roller. Let it dry, sew the top so it can attach to the rod and hung! |
Sunburst Mirror
 |
| The sunburst mirror was made by buying a mirror from Hobby Lobby and using bamboo skewers I bought at Wal-Mart for a dollar. I hot glued them on the opposite side of mirror and spray painted them metallic silver. | | |

| I'm finally done with the painted chevron rug. I used a Home Depot drop cloth, chevron pattern I cut out with carboard, painters tape and a quart of red wall paint. It took forever just because of the chevron pattern. I put polyurethane on it so it would be dirt free (it's supposed to protect it from stains but I think I needed to put another coat of it on....it soaked up a quart of polyurethane so I didn't go back to the store to buy more.) |

 |
| I bought chevron fabric from fabric.com and put a Home Depot drop cloth on bottom of the fabric. I sewed the edges under and then hot glued a rug stopper to the bottom so it wouldn't slide everywhere. I then gave 3 coats of polyurethane (water based) on the chevron fabric so it would resist mud, etc that our dogs like to track in. I made a red and black rug for the kitchen and I'm in the process of making one more for the sink area. |
