Window Mistreatment Time

The Nester is hosting a window mistreatment party today and so I thought that I would show off my own creative mistreatment of my dining room windows.




If you notice, these mistreatments are not even on a rod. I didn't use a glue gun, I didn't sew anything, I just stripped the fabric and hung them up. Can you tell what I used?

Yep, those are tea cup hooks that I screwed into the window frame, evenly spaced. Then to apply the fabric to the hooks, I used little tiny safety pins, also evenly spaced across the top of the fabric.



I like the over all effect, the off centered look and the ease with which I can take these down and put them back. Hope you enjoyed my idea of a good window mistreatment!


Take care,

Elizabeth

I love the idea of teacup hooks. I have so many of these and ring clips can be expensive. Thamks for the great idea.

Thank you so much for joining in on the fun! If you have more of that side fabric you might want to add another "panel" on the other side if it feels weird to you.

ok, just reread it an you said you liked the off center look--when I read it I thought you said you weren't sure you liked it. Hate me. Time to take a computer break for me!
