Easy Window Treatments  Window treatments can be very expensive, more so if you want something that is not only practical, but also aesthetically pleasing. If you like, it's fine to purchase inexpensive curtains. There are many ways to enhance beauty and looks for your windows without compromising on practicality. The Internet, local library, a craft shop, and bookstores are loaded with information that can help you create your own style for window treatment. With some material to start with and good deal of patience, you too can unleash your creativity. Garland your windows The local craft shop or home acessories store is bound to have a wide assortment of garlands for sale. Floral or seasonal garlands look great draped around a window, adding color and style to any room. Drape them with elegant fabric You can use elegant swags of fabric to drape over the windows of your formal living or dining room. Buy assorted plastic rings for use, follow the instructions that come with these rings to push, pull, and knot the fabric through the holes. The result will be a look you and your friends will admire. Hem it –top and bottom of the curtains Use your sewing skills to make simple treatments for your windows. Once you purchase your desired material, hem the top and bottom so it doesn't appear ragged. You can then fasten curtain rings in easily spaced increments across the top of the curtain and thread the window treatment through a decorative curtain rod. Create your own curtain rods Curtain rods don't have to be actual curtain rods those which you buy from a furniture store. Anything that can hold up a window treatment can be considered. For instance, some try to create a rustic look by using sturdy tree branches. An avid golfer is said to have used a couple of inexpensive putters to hold the curtains covering the small windows of his office. So now you know, even with little money and a little creativity backed by patience you can do it yourself- enhancing the look of the windows in your precious home.              |
