DIY Scrap Lace Curtain


Why not create a curtain out of lace tablecloth, curtain, and material scraps?

I love the look of the mismatched patterns and textures! Just think, if you thrift a few different pieces of old lace material (weather from a vintage tablecloth, curtain, or whatever remnant you find) and use just a few portions of each piece, you can create multiple curtains like this. 

I love the vintage tea-stained look of these old pieces, but imagine this in different colors. Which would you choose and where would you hang this? 





What do you think?


Have a great week!

I'm still deciding what I want to do with my stash of vintage hankies that I've collected over the years. While perusing the web for some new ideas I came across some pretty photos that I wanted to share...
