hunting skills, and I know ya'll have those in abundance. So lets get started!

I started wondering what other things I could do with them...Wall hanging? Foot-of-the-bed pop of color? Curtains? Slipcover fabric? Then I spotted a round one with a Suzani print, and got an idea!

Hop over to the blog to see the rest of this post and the tutorial!

Faux Iron Gate made from Toilet Paper Tubes!
