Sticking to my New Year's Resolution with creating one "Pin" per week.
My Pinterest Stats for Week 2: 24 boards/914 pins/63 likes
Pinned #2: This is a photo (*below) pinned to my "The House that Love Built" pinboard because this room just sings out "AMANDA". So what I loved most is the vintage handkerchief curtains, they bring all the colors together and add such whimsy to the room. Perfect for my craft room.

What you need:
Vintage Handkerchiefs
Curtain Rod
Mounting hardware/brackets
White Cotton Fabric
Red Ric Rac trim
My first problem was finding a curtain rod that was nearly 9 ft. long at a reasonable price. Waiting at the hardware store for my husband near the plumbing section I "eyed" the pvc pipe. PERFECT!
The piece of pipe was cut down to fit just right and I installed the mounting brackets. Total cost of curtain hardware was around $15.00 total.

| Four Vintage Handkerchiefs sewn in two strips. |
I already had some handkerchiefs sewn together (4 handkerchiefs on each strip.) So I just added the white cotton to the top and the bottom of each strip.
 |
| I am falling in love with Ric Rac. |
And Viola! Less than an hour and I just added so much vintage charm to my craft room.
 |
| Now I am going to have to change the lampshade to match the curtains. |
Hope this inspires you to make your own curtains. If you need any help, please feel free to message me.
