My Model Room: #13 Curtains

At last the windows have curtains. I used the fabric from my actual curtains, the same stuff I used for the duvet cover.

The curtains are permanently open as it would have been too much of a challenge to have them drawn as well. So I used a simple running stitch to gather them at the top.

I also gathered the curtains at the bottom a little as they stuck out too much on their own.

I made this little vase, for one of the flowers that appear throughout my bedroom, by rolling up a piece of sellotape and then gluing it directly to the window sill.

My Model Room: #4 Window

The next step with my model room was to install the window. I started by making the window sill out of a strip of corrugated card which I painted and cut strips out of to give the impression of individual tiles.

Then I cut two window frames out of thick white card and glued a rectangle of acetate between them. I then stuck this in the space.

I made the handles on the windows out of silver paper and card, and cut lines into window frame to show the individual windows.

Splendid.
