    Great idea! I need to attach some vertically for a french door looking out from my bedroom to a little porch. Thanks for this idea!

    Leslie I will most likely be trying it later this month if timing is right . I am sooo ready for a change. Just hope I can figure how to upload a pic afterward. tried uploading a pic from another project my boys did for me, but was unsuccessful. Advice to everyone, hold off getting Windows 8 if possible. It's weird !
