Another Classroom Project Complete!

In years past, I have never thought about making curtains for my classroom. I have a huge wall of windows in my room and have always just used the vertical blinds as needed. However, as you all may have realized about me by now, I am having a polka dot obsession this year!  I saw a pin on Pinterest about making no-sew curtains out of Stich-Witchery and handkerchiefs from Hobby Lobby, and since I DO NOT SEW, this was right up my alley! So, I took ANOTHER wonderful trip to Hobby Lobby yesterday and cleaned out their stock of black and white polka dot handkerchiefs for only 99 cents a piece. I already had a package of Stich-Witchery at home, so I only needed to find eight extension curtain rods. I went to Dollar General and bought them for $3 each.

This project was so simple once I got a system down. I "no-sewed" sixteen curtains so I could have two panels on each curtain rod. I had a blast with the iron and my pretty new curtains. When my husband returned from work that afternoon, we took them to my classroom to hang them! I LOVE THEM! You will see in the pictures that I actually have thirteen windows in my room. I did not cover the windows that open. It created a nice little pattern though and didn't look bad at all!

The corner by that yellow bulletin board is were my classroom library is set up every year. I have yet to do that. I always like to organize and fix any labels while I set it up each summer.

I made my husband drive me around to the front of my room, as we were leaving, so I could see the beautiful curtains. I know, it doesn't show up very well with the vertical blinds closed and the lights off.
