I gathered up the necessary supplies.

The material is a curtain panel I picked up @ Target.

Turned up the tunes and got to work!

Per Jena’s instruction!

DO NOT cut the pull cord like I did!

ACK!!!

I had cut the other two pull cords to keep them all the same length.

I tied all three pull cords back to the same length and burnt the ends with a lighter to melt the cord a bit to keep the knots from slipping.

I have never worked with fabric glue before and was surprised at how well the glue held!

Before

After

It was an easy project with great results!

Custom Roman Blinds for under $40!

Holla!

Thanks for the great idea Jena!

Pinterest Challenge! - DIY Spoon and Barn Board Project

I am all about new projects and when I snagged these spoons from my Sister I new exactly what I was going to do with them! 

I found the idea on pinterest via

“The Wood Grain Cottage”

I flattened and bent all of the spoons

After all the spoons were done I rounded up the tools and supplies needed and got to work.

I’m not naming any names…

But someone never puts tools away where they belong so I had to fabricate a nail punch out of a nail by sanding off the tip on our belt sander.

I started drilling the holes on the front side but was having problems with the drill slipping and leaving marks

So I flipped them over and drilled the holes from the back.

After all the holes were drilled I attached the spoons to this old piece of barn board.

Now I just have to find an empty wall to hang it on!

 

Happy Thursday :)
