idea: doily curtains

doily curtains by Michela Scherrer

I've been dreaming about making my own curtains for a while. But I hate how heavy some curtains can look. I want light in my house, but still want the privacy that curtains can provide. So, I've been browsing around for some inspiration, and I think I've found it.

DIY doily curtains.

I wish I had saved more of my grandma's sweet doilys. I love how they can be transformed when light shines through them.

There is a great little tutorial on how to make a full-length doily curtain very easily on Siren Adams DIY blog. But I don't want mine to be full length. So, instead I will mostly likely be making a valance for my windows that are inspired by these curtains-

It will take me some time to get a nice little collection of doilys, but I'll be keeping my eyes peeled.

What would you do with a collection of your grandma's doilys?
