Stenciled Burlap Curtains {this was just too fun not to post}

I realize this is just a wee bit outside of the genre of little girl hair accessories but I just couldn't resist sharing with you all this super easy, pretty idea!  I LOVE BURLAP!  Lucky for me it seems to be a huge craze right now and its very easy to find... not to mention inexpensive!  I saw some curtains in a little shop (The French Flea) in a nearby town.  I LOVED them but they were outside of my price comfort and I thought the challenge of making them would be way more fun!  Whenever I told someone I was making burlap curtains they were like, "ohhhhhhh?  BURLAP? Hmmmm, sounds interesting" (they'd say this with that look in their eye that says, you're a crazy person!)  Ha ha, they just didn't have my vision! LOL.(now do you see my vision?) They turned out so beautifully and bring a warmth and texture to the room! 
    So, here's what you need to make them.
-Measure your windows to decide on the size~I used 2 yards because I wanted them to pool on the floor.
-a stencil of some sort~I used a metal wall decoration.
-spray paint in your color choice~ I used black but you could use brown, white, cream, whatever you want.
-A large well ventilated area~I sprayed mine in my garage with the doors open.

So, first lay out your burlap like this.  I didn't worry too much about whether the surface was super clean or not... I mean, it's burlap, come on!

Then line up your stencil on the burlap(I truly wasn't too precise, I just eye-balled it)

                                                     Then, spray away!!! 

                                                    Here's the end result

Once the paint is no longer tacky, hem your raw edges and make a wider hem for your curtain rod.
Then hang it up!  You can hang it with no liner or you can sew a liner out of cotton or whatever.  I have a liner with mine so that the light doesn't fade the stencil when it shines through.

                       Here it is all finished and hung up!  I LOVE it! What do you think?  Hmmm, I wonder what Nate Berkus would think of this? :)
