Reusing Old Windows!
By Tamera Bastiaans
This is a wall hanging I made with an old window.
Here are the directions!
Supplies:
1 old window I got mine at a grage sale for $3)
1 old board (about a 1"x 6"x the size of your window)
1 yard of fabric to match your decor
1 floral swag to match decor and fabric
Paint
Staple Gun
Glue Gun
Picture Hanging Kit (the kind with wire and screws with eye holes for heavy
pictures)
Directions:
Clean up the beat-up old window. Screw the 1x6 onto the bottom side of the
window. Paint the window and the shelf. When it is dry, do one last clean
up, getting all of the excess paint off. Stretch the fabric across the back
of the window and staple it into place. Attach the picture hanging kit to
the back. Attach swag to the top front with glue gun, or nails, or staple
gun. Viola!
I love mine!!
