Easy Window Treatment Idea

So what if you bought a bed-in-a-bag set and you can't find a window treatment to match or it's too expensive, or sold out? Well, check and see if they have any flat sheets that match and use that as your fabric. It's great because it's already hemmed. You can drape it over a decorative rod or bunch it up on each side, rubber band it, creating a rosette and tack it to your wall, without using a rod. I did a combination of this recently with a client. She had scarves left over from a previous house. One was too short and two made it too long. I rubber banded the ends together to make a rosette in the middle of the window, draped it over a rod several times and then made another rosette on each side of the window and it turned out great. She was happy because she got to recycle window treatments on which she had spent a lot of money. Her husband was out of town at the time, but I'm sure he was happy about that too!
