Easy DIY curtains from sheets

I needed  some  curtains  but  as always  I couldn't  spend a fortune,  so I got crafty ! I bought two  black twin sized flat sheets. I cut a slit in each  end of the  sheet that  has the wide fold ... ( I don't  know  if  that  made sense lol ) but I did  take  a picture  so  you  could  see ! I cut a slit just big enough  to  put the  rod through.  After cutting the  slit just slide in the curtain  rod , hang and  you're  done  !  These  are  great  if  you  need  curtains  for  a wide window , it's way  cheaper  then  buying curtains.  Two twin size sheets cover  a window up to 132 inches wide , they  are 96 inches long. If they  are  a little  long  just hang them  higher,  it will  make  the  room  look  bigger  or just let  them  pool up on the  floor ! In total  this  DIY project cost me $12 ( 5 for the two sheets and  2 for the  rods ) Good luck :)

DIY coat rack -Old lumber into a coat rack

Well recently  my teenage son (who does blacksmithing ) made some  hand forged hooks . I went  to  my scrap lumber pile and  found  a old  board & cut it to  the  size  I wanted. I screwed  on the  hooks and  made a beautiful  rustic looking coat rack. I will  be posting  some  of the  coat racks on etsy ( 2Kraftychics is the  shop ) I also found  some  scrap lumber and  made some  other  coat racks. I painted them  with some  paint  I had  on  hand. You  could  easily  make  these  with  old knobs or hooks.They  are  a easy DIY  project  that  is  also  budget friendly !

My recycled tin can candles

Everyone  knows  I love  to  re-purpose  just about  everything  so  when  my husband  was  making  stew I quickly  grabbed  these  huge tin cans  bc  I wanted  to  make  something  out of  them . So  I cleaned,painted  & decorated  them  & turned  them  into  candles  ! I sold  them  at  a local  craft  fair  .
