I've been busy soaking up the last days of summer while attending meetings and working on a few last details in my classroom! Stay tuned next Tuesday for a classroom reveal!
Today I am linking up with The First Grade Parade for Throwback Thursday! I wrote this post in August of 2012.
I have always wanted curtains for my classroom, but never wanted to spend the money on them. Plus, I don't know how to sew. But, when I went to school last week and saw both 5th grade teachers with curtains, it convinced me even more that I wanted them! They let me in on a little secret: they used pillowcases! First, you need these materials: spring tension rod and pillowcases. I used two king size per window.
All you do is put the pillowcase through one side and cut a small hole in the other. Here is what they look like!
* Now I am tempted to look for chevron pillowcases to update my windows!! :)
Wow they look surprizingly cool! Who knew pillow cases could be so versatile!

Genius! I typically hand anything needing sewing over to my Mom, but I think I could handle making these curtains on my own! Thanks for the tip! ~Deb
