Make Fork Curtain Tiebacks

Reader Jessica H. has done a lot of dollar store decor in her home, and I have shared some of her ideas with you already, but here’s another good one inspired by the fork wall hook project from July. Jessica’s bent fork curtain tiebacks make even more sense to me than hooks, though, for a few reasons. One, you can’t tell they’re forks, which is cool! Two, you can find forks that coordinate with your decor, like Jessica does here with the green-handled fork. Three, good curtain tiebacks are super-useful, and these do a great job. Thanks for sharing your good ideas with us, Jessica! [click here to see Jessica's dollar store crafting photo album]

Jessica says:
I got these forks at Target for $0.98 each. I just bent them back with my hands (MUSCLES!), and nailed them to the wall in between the tines of the fork. Cost: $0.98 per window

Project Estimate:

Forks, $1 each

Total: $2 for a two-curtain window

And if you combine this with the paint-stuff-with-nail-polish trick, you have even more options!

The 80s Called…
And they want their prom dress flower back. I recently saw this great little tutorial on making ribbon flowers at Make It Do. How beautiful is that? It is perfect for spring and with all the grey, damp, snowy weather we’ve had in West Virginia, I could use something to brighten my days. I bought some ribbon. [...] […]
Tee Dress Fail
Half of the fail in this tee dress is just my body shape/size… I’ve been wanting for eons to make this tee dress from this video tutorial at threadbanger. EONS. So I finally did it tonight, after having some unexpected time on my hands due to the snowstorm. Well, it is certainly easy enough to do. [...] […]
Knot a Flower
Hmmmm, I am beginning to see a pattern with my crafting fails. Whenever I try to make some sort of flowery doo-dad for an jewelry project, I crash and burn. Here’s my latest flaming inferno of failure. I had an urge to go all Martha and make a flower zipper brooch like I have been seeing [...] […]
