Disney Frozen Curtains Made From Twin Flat Sheet Love Blooms Design

I have been doing this almost forever in my house turning the flat sheets which my daughter will not use into curtains for her bedroom.  I usually will just sew a rod pocket at the top of the sheet, but being that winter is coming I decided to sew these over top of white heavy curtains I already have.  They look great with the purple curtains she already had hung.


I started with the Disney Frozen Love Blooms sheet set.  It has a very beautiful light purple color to the sheet.  My daughter like most of the kids on the planet loves Frozen!

I liked the design at the bottom of  the sheet so I decided to measure how long I would need the sheet and cut the fabric that was not needed off at the top of the sheet.

I based the length I would need based on the length of the current curtains (which were staying up) and the two curtain panels I was sewing the sheet to.  I then added 1/2" to that length because the sheet will needed to be folded slightly.

Cutting

As soon as I figured out how much sheet could be removed I cut off the excess sheet at the top.
I was left with a 66" x 27" scrap piece I will use to do other crafts like pillows, tie backs, etc...

I then folded the sheet in half and cut the whole length.  It left me with two 33" (about) pieces.  These will be stitched to the curtain.

Sewing

I folded over the long side that was cut and ironed about 1/4 inch all the way down the sheet to keep it neat while I sewed it.  I sewed down the whole length with a sewing machine.

I then folded 1/2 inch at the top and ironed it to keep it neat during sewing.  I found the top middle of the curtain and the middle of the sheet lined them up and put a few pins across to keep them together.  I then sewed the whole thing across binding the curtain and the sheet together.

I repeated for the other sheet / curtain.

Within an hour I had new curtains that will match my daughters sheet set!  Of course she loves them!  :)

Snowman Hand Soap Dispenser

My daughter loves this so I decided I would share!

I just took a white bottle of hand soap and I removed the stickers.  I was going to remove all the sticky residue but then decided to just rub a cotton ball over residue.  This gave the dispenser a nice fuzzy feel and texture and it is no longer sticky.

I then just free handed the bow, scarf, eyes and mouth on with glitter glue and let them dry.

I was going to paint the nose on but I just decided to use an orange pom pom glued on with liquid adhesive.

Now we have a cute snowman soap dispenser for the bathroom!

Butterfly Candy Cane Ornaments

This year our theme for our living room is Merry and Bright.... and I mean bright.  We decided to do the bright colors this year and I must say I am loving it!   We are doing butterfly and owl accents and while I was organizing my craft supplies I found these butterfly beads.  I thought wow they would make pretty cool butterfly ornaments for the tree... and I was off making ornaments (AND NOT CLEANING!  shhhhhh don't tell my husband) .......

It is super easy to make these kinds of ornaments and you can do it with the kids too...

All you need for this project is pipe cleaners and beads how simple is that!

You simply slide a bead on the pipe cleaner and bend the end of the pipecleaner over about half way up the bead.

Then you just continue to add the beads.  I changed the direction of the wings with every bead.

When you get the the end you just bend the pipe cleaner over again and shape like a candy cane.  It is as simple as that!  They will look amazing with the Christmas tree lights twinkling.
