Shelf Restyle: A tiny Home Improvement Project.

August 23, 2012


Hi everyone! :) Today I wanna share an easy home improvement project.
I love my room and I love all the pretty things that are displayed, but what I don’t like is ugly, technical stuff like the DVD player. Thus, I decided to make a tiny curtain for my TV shelf. In case you want to make something similar for your own home, here’s a little tutorial.

You need:

– Fabric
– All-purpose glue or a hot-glue gun
– Rubber gloves to protect your fingers
– A piece of Velcro fastener

Spread glue onto the back of one side of the Velcro fastener, do this with a few pieces and attach them to your shelf or board, whereever you want the curtain to be. Next, let the glue dry and sew a tiny curtain for the measure of your shelf. It should be a little bit wider than the shelf itself so that you can gather some fabric in the middle and make it look prettier. Next, take the other sides of the Velcro fastener and sew them onto the back of the curtain, right there where you want to attach it to the shelf.
Such an easy project, you don’t need curtain rails or a rope and you can easily remove the curtain at any time and it perfectly hides items which aren’t so pretty to look at! :)
Have fun!
Lu

    Hallo Lulu,

    du hast wirklich ein wunderschönes Zimmer und ich finde es toll, wie du selbst die kleinsten Schandflecken noch verschönerst. Sehr inspirierend, das nehme ich mir für meine Wohnung zum Vorbild ;)
    Ich finde deinen Blog toll, mach weiter so!

    xoxo, Maggie

    Schöne Idee für so offene Regale.. Ich glaube, ich hab auch die selben gepunkteten Dosen, wie du ;-)

    Das ist wirklich eine gute Idee. Statt die teuren Einsätze fürs Expedit bei Ikea zu kaufen… Werde ich bei Gelegenheit auch probieren!

    Schöne Idee! Und so simpel! Aber spurlos wieder ablösen, wenn man den Vorhang nicht mehr braucht, lässt sich das nicht, oder?

    Ich liebe deinen Blog.
    Du bist vielleicht die kreativste Person auf dieser Welt.

    Ich habe ihn erst vor ein paar Tagen entdeckt und bin deiner History durch gegangen bis zu deinem ersten post zurück. Und du hast mich just dazu inspiriert, meinen eigenen Blog zu schnappen, zu überarbeiten, übern Haufen zu werfen und neu zu beginnen im neuen Gewand.
    Hab jetzt ganz viel Motivaation im Herz, danke dafür ;)

    Sieht wirklich super aus. Etwas Ähnliches hatte ich mal vor, um das untere unseres Waschtisches zu "verkleiden" :-). Jetzt, wo du mich wieder drauf gebracht hast, werde ich das Klettband endlich mal suchen, dass ich mit Sicherheit in irgendeine Kiste gestopft habe. :-)
