Free Drapery Holders!?

*Edited to take part in*

Take a look at all of the other Fabulous ideas there!

Well, technically, these may not be "free", but don't most of us have these mug racks around the house from who-knows-when, or where? Look what you can do with simple mug-hook racks! This four hook set was sold primarily for coffee mugs. I simply hung the hooks

above the window frame

Then, I used rings that already had the clips on them and clipped them to a standard pre-made drapery panel.

You could do this with any piece of fabric, for instance a piece right from the bolt, an old tablecloth, a quilt.

The panel shown is approximately 45" wide. Even though there are four hooks, I used five rings because of the width of the fabric. It seemed to work better. (The white spot is on the photo only!)

Now,
you can eye those hook racks that are around your home, maybe hiding in the back of the closet, or stuck in the laundry room...in a new light!

There are all kinds of styles...

The next time you go to your local thrift store or garage sale--

Happy hook hunting!

One note of caution: In the first pics, the hook rack is curved. I leveled the holes on the wall, and when I went to screw it in, it was crooked! Ha ha! The joke was on me! The moral is: Beware of wavy hook racks :)
