Peach Projects: Re-purposed burlap.

I have been married for almost a year now and have more burlap left over from wedding decor than I know what to do with. 

As you all know, we recently moved into our own place and were in desperate need of some curtains.

I say desperate, but really I have just wanted some curtains for a really long time.

Better late than never. 

My mom and dad came to visit Mother's Day weekend and I figured this was the perfect opportunity to recruit my mother's help.

Y'all. This project is so easy and cheap.

It really cost me nothing because my mother bought all the curtain rods and I had everything else. 

We started out with some old table cloths. The already had a wide hem...perfect for hanging on a curtain rod. My other hemmed the edge so it wouldn't fray.

Really though, she hogged the sewing machine.

I didn't mind it. 

I was the designated iron woman. 

Which was fine with me because Iron Man is my favorite super hero.

We used the hem of the lace to make the hem of the burlap the same size. 

Then Momma Rose hemmed the burlap. 

That's it ya'll. I told you it was stupid easy. 

BEFORE:                                                                                               AFTER:

We ended up with three variations as you can see.

I am in love and super impressed with our handy work.

I still find myself looking at them and saying,

"We made those!"

And I still have TONS of burlap left. TONS!! 

OH!

and to make these rod covers you just sew a little flap and slip it on. 

Tuck the edge under. 

Perfection.

In the form of burlap and lace.

A few of my favorite things!
