Pinterest Challenge

Brian and I made a trip into town to grab some fabric to finish up a quilt we've been working on. At the last second I decided I wanted to make something in lieu of the Pinterest Challenge going on over at Young House Love.

I saw this post on Pinterest a few weeks ago and have been curious to try it myself ever since. The windows in our apartment are so boring with white, half broken, mini blinds and I've been looking at frugal ways to upgrade since we've moved in.


I knew the window in our kitchen was the first one I wanted to tackle, so when we got home we got started right away. The project took us a little over an hour & I am thankful that Brian was willing to help me.. he's always better at the measuring and configuring than I am. I'm the ideas person and he tends to be much better at the follow through. 





Overall, I like the way they look. It's obviously not the most professional look ever, but for a little bit of fabric glue and some fabric, I think they look pretty good. To be honest though, I like anything in green. 

Anyone else make anything for the Pinterest challenge?

That looks great! Was it pretty easy to do? I may steal the idea for our new apartment... :)

So easy, it only took about an hour, hour and a half. It probably would have taken less, but our cat liked all of the string and delayed our project a little.

Do it! It was fun.

It looks great! And good job getting it done. I usually just look and pin all the cute projects but they never materialize in my house!
