In my boredom of looking at blank walls, my creativity apparently peaks. As I look at each wall, I see picture, picture, picture. I certainly cannot do another picture on the wall. But it is sooooo blank. Lets see, I could put wood trim on the wall and paint inside the trim??? What about another medium??? Fabric....but I do have a lot of drapes and finals.....this all came to be one evening while being bored watching
TV, apparently I'd rather decorate than watch TV.
I thought I would buy a
tapestry, Ive always loved tapestries, the history of them
all, the
in·tri·cate' beauty but I had been looking for just the right tapestry for about 5 years now and not found one. (another story) so then I thought to myself,
I could buy some fabric that looks like tapestry and then I said to myself, Kate
You have so much fabric, why don't you just go look at it!!!! And Wa La!! I did
have the perfect bolt of fabric I hadn't even touched....
Here is how I made my custom tapestry.
1) Measure size of wall area, to decide size of tapestry
2) Cut the fabric to size
3) I decided I liked the fraided edges,so like pulled threads out on the opposite
side and bottom of fabric (quite a project)
4)Measure pole you will use to determine rod pocket size and sew one seam for rod
pocket
5)Decide how you want the finished project to look, ie: finials, tassels etc.
6) I think I am going to add long blue and gold tassels to mine on both sides
7) Hang brackets for wood pole
