Tired of My Dull Kitchen Blinds....... And Love My New Dish Cloths

The blinds in my kitchen have started looking rather insipid, and felt my window was in desperate need of a re-do.
I looked around for material that would be appropriate for kitchen curtains with no success, but I found really beautiful kitchen cloths.
After a bit of planning I worked out I had enough to make "fake" blinds for the window.
I bought eyelet rings, as I couldn't make any adjustments to the size of the cloths, so I had to work around that. Using them for the 1st time was far easier than I thought it would be. I sewed a "loop" around the top "blind" and slid a plank in. With 2 picture hooks at the back I could attach it to the top of the window. The eyelets allowed for a pipe in the Centre of the window.
I sewed pleats into the top section to make it look like blinds.
With the remaining 2 cloths I was able to recover my kitchen chair. In total I used 8 kitchen cloths. My kitchen looks so much brighter now
Suggested materials:
  • Eyelets, 8 kitchen cloths, 1 x 1m pipe, 1 x 1m plank, 2 picture hook

      Hello Choksi Thank you I have even now made a plastic bag holder with 2 dish cloths I could find at the same shop.
