Well I have been trying to create my own crafting area. I have a large window in my room which needed some curtains. I searched and searched for the perfect fabric to make a statement since the window is BIG. I really didnt want to pay 7.99 a yard for specialty fabric.






So, when you cant find what you want, make it!!!!! What else is a girl to do!!!! I was in Joanns and spotted that their felt was 2.99 a yard and it was the perfect width!!! It was meant to be!!!!






Now how to make it my own....hmmmmm. Ah ha....I searched for the perfect tool..I used a top to one of my bead jars and hot glued a wood knob to it. Homemade stamper!!!!!








Then I got busy stamping. I stamped and stamped and stamped!!! Oh, I used simple craft acrylic paint for the dots.








After my dots where all dry, I used those ring curtain clippy things and just clipped them to my fabric and hung them on my curtain rod.



Next I stood back and admired!!!! Ahhhhh.......perfect!!!!!!!

When you cant find what you want, MAKE IT!!!!!! Love my new curtains!!!!

Thanks for looking! Hope this inspires you!!!!!!
