DIY 5 minute no sew valance

Now that Christmas is over and all of the decorations are down my house feels so very empty! Bring on the post Christmas blues... Nope! Not happening. DIY to the rescue- again!!! :-) 

For Christmas I made wreaths and hung them from each of the windows in the breakfast room. I never noticed it before Christmas, but the breakfast room looks completely bare without anything on the windows. So tonight I decided I was going to make curtains, well at least I was going to pin up the fabric to see what it would look like and to choose a color. 




Yesterday I bought two fitted queen size sheets from Goodwill (white & grey) that I was going to use to make a ruffle throw. I didn't want to hang the rod yet, so I just used push pins and pushed the fabric into the top of the window frame. I layered the fitted sheet over itself and used Jute to tie it up. Much to my surprise they look great!

 

There is no confusing these curtains for custom curtains, but if you are looking for a quick and easy spice for your windows, this is it! 

It was so easy that now I'm not sure I want to go through the trouble of hanging the rod and making the curtains. ;-) 

Ok, now that I have the curtains out of my mind,  time for some rest! Good night everyone! 

Please let me know if you have any questions.
