DIY: curtain tiebacks.

Hello Lovers, here is a quick tutorial/review of my DIY curtain tie backs.
To make my one bedroom apartment work for a family of four, I divided the room using the Ikea Dignitet curtain wire and the Lill curtains. This creates a dreamy look in the room and gives my husband and I some privacy. Sometimes the curtains can get in the way and we end up twisting the curtains and put it in the babies crib. I was inspired to create these curtain tie backs with some of the supplies I had from my jewelry making days. So it cost me nothing to create these tiebacks using what I already had. I am unable to give you a break down of what it cost, as the supplies were purchased wholesale.

 
I used some trim I had left over from my dinning chair project, which I will post, and hot glued some rhinestone flat backs on it. I sewed the embellished pearls to the trim. It was a bit time consuming due to the sewing part to ensure, the pearls did not fall as they are large and have weight to them.
 
Supplies:
Hot glue
Glue sticks
Flat back Rhinestones
Embellished pearl
Trim
Scissors to cut to size
 
Please note, due to the weight of pearls, I will add another piece of fabric to the back to hold it together. For now it works just fine.
 


I think they are absolutely beautiful and plan to make some more in different variations. I plan to sell them on my etsy shop. Will provide info on that later on.
On the other side is our bed.
 


 
I love and respect Ikea for what it has done for my family. I just hope their not evil people and then
I would have to take that back.
 
That's all there was to that.

Until the next project,
 
Jewelz!
