It is slowly turning into a warm hot Saturday, so I'm glad that yard sales happen first thing in the morning. Scores were few and far between today, but they were still to be had. In addition to what is pictured, I got two new books for $0.50 each and Book-opoly (where the classics are the properties, I'm quite excited to play).</div>

So, everything on the table cost a grand $5.50. The cast iron pot was $1.00 and everything else was $4.50 a this really spectacular yard sale. Seriously, those saucers were five cents each. Brilliant!</div>

Here are my original pieces - a HUGE crochet table cloth that was in slight tatters and a terrible greenish color. I also had two vintage pillow shams that were stained ... this caused problems.</div>

Okay, here is the problem. The stains pulled more color than the rest of the pillowcase. No where I read could explain this to me, so I'm assuming that these must have been oily stains? I can't find answers on the internet. However, I do know that, in the future, I need to check those stains a little more closely!!</div>

Here I had some more success. A lovely, bright fuchsia in a solid, all-over color. Even the patches pulled the same shade. I was VERY pleased. Now, if only to decide what to do with the thing so it doesn't totally fall apart! </div>

Seeing as I'm not cool enough to actually need a bar cart (or I'm too cool to need one as a friend pointed out) - this has been housing a miscellaneous mess in my dining room for the last year. I recently cleared off the top to make room for my record player - so now, in addition to my mess, there are always records pilled around it.<br />
<br />
It was time for an intervention. My records were all in the living room, the player was in the dining room, the whole stand was in need of some TLC. So I took the Miss-nice-girl gloves off and brought out the spray paint to turn drab in fab (fabulized, that is).<br />
<br />
Taking some inspiration from pinterest I decided to brighten up the gold and go with a bright orange.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhemHo9qPVeJZbjAIdgBmowhk8RbAAN9ptmPzLyJBZtzRtq0r82giwmVgpRCYhOrwggf3vX0KbH6s40Yo3WrCyXC9PKXMymHXvM2FcT12yC6CU7x5EXGTOCRFNnnq7EXKVGh_98twDET18/s1600/IMG_7381.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhemHo9qPVeJZbjAIdgBmowhk8RbAAN9ptmPzLyJBZtzRtq0r82giwmVgpRCYhOrwggf3vX0KbH6s40Yo3WrCyXC9PKXMymHXvM2FcT12yC6CU7x5EXGTOCRFNnnq7EXKVGh_98twDET18/s400/IMG_7381.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Step 1. Remove junk (which is currently piled on my dining table) and clean. I used windex to cut through the icky and then soap and water. It looked much better than this before I started painting.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-Tea8ZdGFZpLdEI9FzNoITfCpqEfOF-BwIwVb8EcwYjoWDuF-wlYmlBadIoxRmD97fJUbwIR_VT8LXGcQ3qDBKFjAmeIxbCglCiwpJkDVSvibHqOxA0pjsO9L8fYDyCX9MBlgKdtSQyQ/s1600/IMG_7382.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-Tea8ZdGFZpLdEI9FzNoITfCpqEfOF-BwIwVb8EcwYjoWDuF-wlYmlBadIoxRmD97fJUbwIR_VT8LXGcQ3qDBKFjAmeIxbCglCiwpJkDVSvibHqOxA0pjsO9L8fYDyCX9MBlgKdtSQyQ/s400/IMG_7382.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
Step 2. Sand. Hahaha, gotcha didn't I! I knew this one was going to need quite a few coats of paint, but I was feeling too lazy to sand. I decided I'd know before the second coat if it "really" needed sanding ... it didn't. However, I originally intended to paint all of the wood orange and the metal frame gold - but the wooden slats didn't come (easily) out of the frame, so they were added to the gold paint.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmVd5OQe3JD3kVlcesGcGs1kyU7VGPXdSNaGIa1F2Hgqb8As27gXbpE242LjIbTS9hsNu7qs1QgrZYflDZYV_E9KYQXcjXPfSz2sU9bi0A7t7Ma6JHWGmC58OjYn4TPHs2X7e1dDpwAsM/s1600/IMG_7386.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmVd5OQe3JD3kVlcesGcGs1kyU7VGPXdSNaGIa1F2Hgqb8As27gXbpE242LjIbTS9hsNu7qs1QgrZYflDZYV_E9KYQXcjXPfSz2sU9bi0A7t7Ma6JHWGmC58OjYn4TPHs2X7e1dDpwAsM/s400/IMG_7386.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
Step 3. Let dry. Forever. Usually Montrose rocks about 8% humidity, so 50% is a lot for us right now. This meant that I waited 12 hours before putting the shelves into the bar cart.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjx2X6RSV1_Uhiz5Yfzx5edT3TpOlqePPHLXeI7xLKj51AIfxKzTeKCgbSQ0Pd4l3RjKs7rwg0NDVLtQIbVhrVYVhPwkSLissgc-Q7bwBXcPWDOgd_yk2LvAw0iKMdZrdHZv5YvvVuDxY/s1600/IMG_7388.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjx2X6RSV1_Uhiz5Yfzx5edT3TpOlqePPHLXeI7xLKj51AIfxKzTeKCgbSQ0Pd4l3RjKs7rwg0NDVLtQIbVhrVYVhPwkSLissgc-Q7bwBXcPWDOgd_yk2LvAw0iKMdZrdHZv5YvvVuDxY/s400/IMG_7388.jpg" width="300" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcJRv6OCFOlo68JuIXOueSUrvEwr361Lc7z3CNpx8GIxzqwg4LuzwqX0oBLCyIeUkg_s2_WidwpTWv66h1j74q269AJF9UFDg6sFVDa3kVIqI6UlvmUIGWrka1qZoBn6GwuZTDBgTCRxg/s1600/IMG_7394.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcJRv6OCFOlo68JuIXOueSUrvEwr361Lc7z3CNpx8GIxzqwg4LuzwqX0oBLCyIeUkg_s2_WidwpTWv66h1j74q269AJF9UFDg6sFVDa3kVIqI6UlvmUIGWrka1qZoBn6GwuZTDBgTCRxg/s400/IMG_7394.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
Step 4. Fill with fabulized goodies. After waiting the full 24 hours for the cart to fully dry I was able to create the record station I needed. Moving it into the living room also puts the music in a location that moves it through the house (I might be imagining that ... or making it up).<br />

Here is the other end ... and some chalkboard art tips</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. You know all those stencils and everything you can get? Forget about it - anything in your own hand is better! Don't like your handwriting? I don't think anyone does - I'm always getting compliments on mine and I think it looks so ... normal. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. Start with a really clean board - like wet the whole thing down and let it dry. If you make a mistake, use a damp paper towel to fix it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. Want to emphasize a word? Use two colors (my favorite trick). It doesn't even look like two colors - it just looks awesome when to write one on top of another.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. Mix up your fonts. I have three that I can use (regular printing, handwriting, and block letters) then mix them with caps and lower case. Once you add in your different colors and ways to fill them in you have a whole variety. </div>

You are either one of two people. Either you are one of the people who are obsessed with using washi tape everywhere and for everything ... or, you've never heard of it and only came here because the link from Pinterest looked cute. No matter - this is a super fun and easy cheesy project. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Materials: Washi Tape, Glue Stick, Roll Magnet, Cardstock, Glue Gun</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Start by tearing the washi tape into smallish strips and glue it to card stock.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggfDjRSVcdpBw-iUNUYs5ZyL9Jo5Aug0sgwIZVHLyYGZ_xsn4RqFN-sIMLL5g3HgIvXcRaTj1GdGAdIoSJVELm912afxRhYq5JSJBYRBLgOimyht0295F1vbYfFRaq7dKmrZjl8XE_J0w/s1600/IMG_6849.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggfDjRSVcdpBw-iUNUYs5ZyL9Jo5Aug0sgwIZVHLyYGZ_xsn4RqFN-sIMLL5g3HgIvXcRaTj1GdGAdIoSJVELm912afxRhYq5JSJBYRBLgOimyht0295F1vbYfFRaq7dKmrZjl8XE_J0w/s320/IMG_6849.jpg" width="239" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then cut out the strips - the more detailed you are, the better this will look. </div>
<br />

So, I wasn't going to buy any more Christmas decorations. Then I had to run into Target. Sigh.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However, at those discounted prices, it wasn't really like spending money (lol, see how I justify these things for myself).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A breakdown, according to the receipt::</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Penguin Pillow $1.49</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Little Animals $0.49 each</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Knit Christmas Trees $0.80 each</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Christmas Cards $0.70 each</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(I already bought a box of these at 50% off, so I'm set for next year)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then two items from the decor section of Target that were only 70% off (only, lol)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Shiny Gold Bread Basket $5.98</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hurricane $8.98</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think both of these items I can use year around (or, at least, I plan to)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Grand Shopping Total $22.63 (with tax)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Grand Savings Total $62.00!!</span></div>

Wow, we haven't talked since last year! Since that was just a month ago, I don't feel too badly. Since chatting last I had a lovely holiday with my family. The only thing I was missing was a group of carolers at my door :( Alas, otherwise the Christmas season was utterly delightful, full of presents, decorations, crafts, and friends & family. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pictures? Well, pictures stress me out. That might sound funny, but I become so consumed with capturing every moment that I miss them (not getting them on film, but being a part of them).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hosted Christmas for the first time ever - it actually went pretty smoothly. Then I threw a New Year's Day Open House to show off my new digs and see all of my friends. It was a great time! (My BFF's son, who is three, told us it was a GREAT party - so it must have been!)</div>

My biggest news over the holiday season? My Etsy story exploded! Well, not quite, it was a great way to start off a new adventure. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
What is this for you? Well, lots more about Etsy and store building. Additionally, I will still be posting about crafts, decorating, shopping, and recipes. Lots of fun things to try (and pin - mostly I pin things, but I do make things occasionally). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh, plus a lovely new (more simplistic) blog design!!</div>

In honor of the Grand Opening of my shop, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/CuriousFabulizations?ref=si_shop" target="_blank">Curious Fabulizations</a>, my blog will be hosting my first ever give away! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Who: </span>You, silly, who else would be winning?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">What:</span><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/113286502/long-stem-paper-lotus-flower" target="_blank"> <span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Long Stemmed Lotus Flowers</span></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 16px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">This bunch of Long Stemmed Paper Lotus Flowers are made with forty folds which are lovingly done by my own fingers in my art room. Each petal is a page from a vintage Reader's Digest that was saved from the trash pile! They are made and then attached to form a flower, which is secured to a stem. These are approximately four inches across and between fifteen and twenty inches tall. These are made in small batches, two or three at a time, to ensure each is just as lovely as the last. Since these are entirely handcrafted, small differences should be expected. My goal is not for you to just be happy with your purchase, but to be excited and thrilled!</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">These would be great in your house (obviously, hehehe), but also great for a Christmas gift.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Why: </span>Why give something away?

There are two parts to my absence. The first is that it is Christmas time and I'd rather be decorating, shopping, wrapping, baking, and being with friends and family then at my computer. The other reason is that I've just started by Etsy Store and it is pretty awesome!</div>

I love holidays and decorating for them ... but when they are over, they are over! Let's pack it up and move on! This morning I stayed home not feeling great from work. It is a lot different to sniffle on some decorations then it is to sniffle over your desk. So, after sleeping in and doing some dishes, I began to put some halloween decorations away.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What, first let me say that last night I helped at a Halloween Carnival at my church and someone had donated about 100 small to medium sized pumpkins. Afterwards, they were just piling the pumpkins outside for anyone to take and enjoy. That is how this all started.</div>

1 - This is an indoor/outdoor clock my mom got for me at Wal-Mart of all places, on super clearance! It measures humidity and temperature. I think she paid about $8 on clearance for it - but I've had it for years already.</div>

5. This is tiny and you can't see it - there is a gold votive holder, Cinderella's Pumpkin Carriage, my green E, and a purple glass jar filled with book page roses. This is also where a bunch of the table scatter I bought it. I got red leaves and golden acorns at target for $2.50 a box. It is now everywhere in my house because that little box really goes a long way.</div>

Today I was able to go to the Western Colorado Botanical Gardens for a Summer Reading Workshop sponsored by the Colorado State Library. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The workshop was fantastic and I got SOOO many ideas that my head is spinning!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In addition to a great workshop, we got a tour of the gardens from the Master Gardener. What a lovely place!! Enjoy these pics!</div>

I saw something like this on pinterest and I decided to create my own. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started with a bag of bones (literally) {$10} and a sad looking wooden wreath {$2}.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I already had the "spooky fabric" and those strange looking berry/floral things. All I needed was some hot glue and it was all easy peasy from there. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
{This is also the saddest tutorial ever because hot glue doesn't really wait around for you to take pictures}</div>

Maybe you've seen all these pumpkins everywhere too ... I really wanted one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I decided I needed to make it and I now understand why people pay for these :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step one was to pick up a cheapy hardback from the library book sale. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I took off the cover and traced what I wanted the pumpkin to look like. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used these clamps to even the pages and help to hold onto the book.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiunGpmbjxUl7ts1m416DajVYrWZCgykfCfc7SUli7LuJOSUknahwGEWEN3O6UCf07gcUM_WsCk3VPT0YZ9_A0P-yjzHXRvcUZoFU7SyFVNJE4wnqv3BIUR3dh_1xP-eWWjNxUtOGBLojM/s1600/IMG_6217.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiunGpmbjxUl7ts1m416DajVYrWZCgykfCfc7SUli7LuJOSUknahwGEWEN3O6UCf07gcUM_WsCk3VPT0YZ9_A0P-yjzHXRvcUZoFU7SyFVNJE4wnqv3BIUR3dh_1xP-eWWjNxUtOGBLojM/s400/IMG_6217.jpg" width="298" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I cut the pages - which made a GIANT mess and was the most difficult thing I'd ever done - but I did it without cutting off my fingers :)</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLfXLAMgc1h2jwDEQ4o7tDVZMWBuHLhqoqJyXIZJaNzQRDFAGibJJxE1oW6drgF2rsGHDs3utTRffDLHhE5noihFQ0sL20BrFFjZ01bY-knIwST0magDSoLcZ0NX8DmlYcojquT6ithVA/s1600/IMG_6218.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLfXLAMgc1h2jwDEQ4o7tDVZMWBuHLhqoqJyXIZJaNzQRDFAGibJJxE1oW6drgF2rsGHDs3utTRffDLHhE5noihFQ0sL20BrFFjZ01bY-knIwST0magDSoLcZ0NX8DmlYcojquT6ithVA/s400/IMG_6218.jpg" width="298" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After cutting I opened it up - fabulized! I did file the pages to make things smooth.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I used this spray paint that was made for paper and Styrofoam. It was pretty terrible - thick and goopy, had great coverage. It also smelled terrible. So, I was distracted and forgot some in-between pictures. </div>
<br />

Here is a nearly dry pumpkin ... which looks pretty awesome. This was a decorative stick that was a left over from some wedding decorations. </div>
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here it is finished (and sitting next to the candy bowl). I took two pages from the leftover part of the book and cut out some leaves. Then using two colors of dry pastels I covered the leaves and rubbed them together. A little hot glue and it looks better than I would have imagined. I love it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Maybe I'll make some for Etsy ... if I can figure out how to hold this without cutting off any fingers!</div>

Yep that is both my kitchen counter and my front door paint. I decided that there wasn't a better place to do it then right where I had a sink, so here we go. Originally I was going to paint it purple to go in my guest room ... but this turquoise paint was too tempting (and I have so much, so why not).</div>

One of my favorite Estate Sale Organizers was having a great sale today --- everything you could fit in a bag for a buck! There are 16 napkins, four of three different styles (and in GREAT shape). 6 little green glass plates that totally match <a href="http://fabulouslizz.blogspot.com/2012/08/back-on-band-wagon.html" target="_blank">some bowls</a> I got earlier this summer. Two vases, one modern one pretty traditional (both great quality). That metal organizer thingy that I'm not sure what I'm going to do with yet. A little clear glass jar (picture on the right, bottom left hand corner) that looks like an ink well. Glass ornaments in original box and that little wooden nutcracker ornament. Finally, you cant really see them hanging from the corner of the ornament box - but there is a little glass bell chime that is too sweet! It was in the ornament box and I didn't even find it until I got home!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, I have these huge ceilings - which I TOTALLY love! - but I haven't been able to find curtains that are long enough and still anywhere near my budget. It was time to get crafty. I already had some white sheers I had used to "screen" in my porch when I live in the apartment (which was quite awhile ago, they were pretty wrinkled when I unpacked them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Enter my hero: Target Clearance! I bought two of these shower curtains (which were the same sheen as the sheers I already had) for a brilliant $4.98 apiece.</div>

I began by cutting the first curtain into three even pieces.</div>

Then I ironed where I would be creating seams - because I don't "love" sewing, this makes my job SO much simpler!</div>

The most complicated part was probably pinning it on - it took me a minute to see what I was doing. You will pin the right sides together, and you want to make sure you will be sewing ABOVE the seam on the curtain (or you will be doing what I did, more on this in a minute). </div>

The shower curtain was longer than my sheer, so I just cut it off where it needed to end and then pressed the future seam in place. When I went to sew I sewed all of the "hems" first and then did the attachment to the panel. </div>

Because of my "mistake" I had to go back through and sew over the top of the newly added piece. This actually gave it a more "finished" look which I was pretty happy with.</div>

<b><u>Faux Roman Shade that Costs Next to Nothing</u></b></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The other window in my bedroom is pretty small, only about twenty inches wide, but just as long as the other. I had seen this idea on Pinterest (which, of course, I didn't pin, so if anyone recognizes this please pass along the original site!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I didn't want to overwhelm the tiny window with a long, bulky curtain, so I thought I would copy that idea I saw and make my own Roman Shade out of the existing mini-blind. This is seriously easy and perfect for a renter with terrible window coverings!</div>

Start by measuring VERY SPECIFICALLY! The piece really needs to fit perfect, so measure twice, cut once :) </div>

Then cut out your fabric and finish all four sides. My shower curtain was actually long enough for my window, so I only had to finish one side.</div>

You'll need some paper clips - this is a box of misc paper clips that was on my grandfathers desk FOREVER.</div>

After sewing you'll simply attach the panel you've just made to your mini-blind. It really is as simple as that! I attached the fabric on every fifth blind piece with paper clips on both sides. </div>

That was easy right? Now comes a little more complicated part. I used the shower hook holes to thread paper clips through like this (across the top). </div>

I did that so they would stay when I pushed them between the top of the mini-blind and the top of the window frame. It really did work like a charm!</div>

<i>Tips for this Project</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. Take the wand off of the mini-blind before starting. You won't be using it anymore, but the curtain won't work with it still on there. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. Pull the cord through one of the button holes OR cut a tiny hole (which you could sew up in you were so inclined, in the top of the panel for the cords to come through. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. Iron the whole thing before you hang it. Mine is wrinkled and it makes me crazy, but I'm too lazy to take it down.</div>
