This video outlines the full process on a newly installed window.To quickly sharpen your kitchen or crafting scissors, just cut through a piece of sandpaper a few times.
I could have just painted everything to try to make it blend in with the wall, and that would have been just fine, but I felt like trying something a little more fun..When you think “beginner sewing projects” you usually think about throw pillows and stuff like that, but trust me, this is about as beginner of a project as you can get, so it’s worth a try if you like this look!.
This ruffly covered cord look will definitely be too fussy for some people, but I really like the contrast between the really traditional elements (like the lamps and the button-tufted settee) and some of the more rustic farmhousy elements like my light fixture and this garage-found side table.So it totally does the trick for me.. Want to know how to make one?It’s one project that you can have done lickety split!
Find some fabric that you like.. Iron, measure, and cut: For my two lamp cord covers, I actually made 4 little mini covers since my fabric wasn’t long enough for two giant cord covers.So I cut 4 strips of fabric.
Instead of marking off my measurements, I like to iron a crease and just cut along the crease.
I find it keeps everything neat and tidy and saves me from trying (and failing) to draw a straight line.. For one cord cover, I had 2 strips of fabric that measured a total of 1.5 times the length of my cord when placed end to end.So we applied some adhesive to the stainless steel and some stabilizer pieces and put the first panel together..
The GE Iron Grip Adhesive offers up to 75% less clamp time than many other adhesives so it allows you to work much more quickly on projects like this.We left our project clamped for about 2 or 3 hours and then we had a nice, straight, flat panel!.
…or so I thought.Chris always likes to be extra sure so he added in a few shim in the back to hold the stainless steel extra straight..
