Some pics of a decoupaged jar

Finally got around to putting the pics online to show all y'all my funsy jar. I needed to put my bamboo plant in a new container and I didn't want to buy a new vase for it. So, inspired by a few very old issues of Sassy magazine that my brother and dad found while cleaning out the basement at my parents' house (and were finally put to some use), I made this.

New curtains for my bedroom

[jessamine6.livejournal.com]

So, this is the current project that I'm working on now. Originally, I had planned on sewing plain curtains and attaching these to the section that the rod goes through. However, because the material was so darn slippery, it looked so bad after I had sewn it. I tried it out and just didn't like how it looked.

I took the remaining material and hung it onto the rod w/ safety pins. The edges are unfinished, but I don't mind the look. Then I took each of the dangly washer/safety pins combo thing and attached them to one of the safety pins that is hanging the curtain on the rod.

I ran out of safety pins, so I can continue as soon as I pick up more on Thursday. You get the idea though, they will span all the way across. Eric (my best friend) suggested that I put some weight on the bottom of the curtain, so I might pin some of the bigger washers on the bottom as a border of some sort.
