The Little White Cottage Dollhouse Curtains

 This house will have plain white curtains.  They are 9" in length.  I like tall curtains hung far above the window and puddling onto the floor.  First, I pin the curtains in position on a piece of cardboard.
 Then I spray with hairspray so it will keep it's form.  You can also use starch spray for the same result.
When you take the pins out, the curtains stay the way you had them pinned.  I use craft sticks cut in half lengthwise and painted white for my curtain rods. Next time- the finished house!

    Мне очень понравились занавески! Они такие воздушные! Домик с занавесками выглядит уютным.
    С любовью из России. Елена.

    Hi Caroline! I share your taste in long floor length puddling curtains. I find that they provide a touch of glamour to a room. I love those long wide paned windows. The curtains look marvelous. Thank you for sharing how you made them.

    What a fantastic idea to keep the curtains in place! I was wondering what to do and didn't like the look of the folded paper ones. Pinning the idea! :)

    I hope you're okay, Caroline. I rarely listen to the news but I did today and I saw there was a tornado in the northern part of Texas. I know you live in Texas. Hope you were not hit.

    Have a great weekend,
