To dress up your drapery panels, follow her no-sew tutorial HERE!
Have you dressed up your drapery panels??
Love the customized look of trims, thanks for the nice collection. It's on my long to-do list.
Love all the trimmings! Especially the first one! My mom would be so proud normally I am anti tassels! I think my house needs a pair of trimmed curtains stat!
I do love this look – especially when it saves money and gives a custom look.
You have proven you don't need to custom order beautiful window treatments!!!!
I have added contrasting fabric to the bottoms of ready made panels and it makes a world of difference.

I did a similar post to this yesterday using Samantha Pynn's drapery for examples. She really is a master of this technique! Love it!
Beautiful! Great examples to share with clients…will be pinning these!
