See my cute ribbon!! |
I started out by cutting my wood to the right size and then staining it. I also distressed it a little with a hammer before staining it for an older look.
I love this Martha Stewart Wood Stain |
While my wood dried, I cute my ribbon into even strips to make my loops.
I measured my spaces so they would be even, then pinned my loops to the back of the curtain. Once They were all pinned, I sewed each loop on with a few stitches.
Once my wood was dry, I added the sawtooth hangers to the back and I measured for proper spacing and then drilled a hole for each knob....
then screwed in the knobs.
Then I hung my window treatment and added the curtain! After it was hung, I decided to pull it to the side so I used some extra ribbon and made a nice little bow. I hooked the bow through a decorative hook that I happened to have on hand! :)
I'm quite pleased with the way it turned out!
