Previously I made a unique window treatment in the form a wooden dowel with antique glass doorknobs glued to the end of it and a shawl or tablecloth. I still am not sure what the textile is meant to be. It could be a tablecloth or shawl or something else entirely. It is very pretty, and I like it. However after having it up for several years now, I decided I needed a change. The textile was too thin for a curtain in that it let too much light in, and I am not completely positive how much privacy it brought. Also it was just barely able to cover the window.
Last year I bought a tablecloth or blanket in Mexico that I love. I wasn’t sure what to do with it though. I finally decided it would make a perfect new window treatment for my window. I hung it up to replace the other textile. It was perfect for privacy and size. Now the problem became that it was a bit too heavy and causing the dowel to sag a bit too much. So, I bought a cheap curtain rod that would provide more strength and not sag from the weight. I removed the rod’s plain ends and glued the antique glass doorknobs to it. Now I once again have my glass doorknobs and a unique curtain to go with it.
