The Classroom Curtains YES!
I hang curtains in my -classroom-
My super creative friend Stacy taught me How To..
oh.. about 16 years ago,
and I've been doing it ever since.
I love it, some people think I'm crazy..but..
It makes me feel happy about my home, away from home,
every morning when I come in it makes me smile!
It is such an easy DIY that I had to share.
(plus I am procrastinating, I have lots of housework to do right now)
To make them, You Will Need To Buy a Few Things & Measure the Windows:
* First you need to buy a few plastic table cloth packages- I use 1 pack per window.
(rectangular)

* Get a color that matches your classroom.
(so many fun colors at Party City)

* You will also need tension rods for inside the windows.
(any hardware store)

* Stapler and Scissor
first
Open table cloth package
and lay it flat,
cut on the pre-made fold line vertically.
Leave the fold on the top,
so the tension rod fits through.
then
Take the stapler and line it up ,
then make a staple line.
Remember the tension rod slips
finally

Super cute and very inexpensive, curtains!

ooo, I just love this! All of my window shades are broken and they won't be replaced--the sun is terrible in the morning, the poor kids can barely see! This would work so well and it's perfect since I am TERRIBLE at sewing!! THANK YOU!

Oh my gosh, I was just debating (and dreading having to figure out) curtains to somehow cover the shelving in my classroom and I just love the idea of using a plastic table cloth! Thanks for sharing your tip :).
