Use what you have ~

Happy Saturday all!

Just a really quick project before heading out on a short vacation. 

I saw this idea while perusing one of my favorite blogs.  I forget which one.  My apologies.  I should be giving you your due credit. 

I purchased the tension rod for about $2.50 at Wally World, I had the 'Heat & Bond' in my closet for probably 4-5 years now, and I bought a whole bolt of muslin to cover chairs with and that never panned out.  So, today I quickly (probably took less than a half hour) threw this one together. 

Here is the spot before:

Please excuse my un-emptied garbage can!  See why I wanted to cover this spot up?

Here is what I used, since I don't have a sewing machine:

I measured, cut and ironed.  That about sums up my skills with fabric.  :-) 

Here is how it turned out: 

Easy peasy.  I love projects like this.  

I've decided I really need to work on my photo skills.  Well, I decided that awhile ago, but this post confirms I'm not the best photographer.  Dad would not be proud.  

Have a great weekend!  See you in a few days!!
