Window Treatments in a Minute

Window treatments can be a daunting task and that is why I am here to give you some hot tips from the previous owner of our house. After you have some sort of fabric picked out all you need to do is go to staples and get about 1.5 pounds of clear tacks. Make sure they are clear because we want them to "blend in" with our fabric and not be tacky(pun intended and why pushpins weren't used for this post). Next just tack away. You will see how easy it is to use the tacks to mold the fabric around your window frame. You should have a few extra tacks for embellishments like tie-backs and the like. Why limit yourself to symmetry? Live on the edge and create a slightly "imbalanced" look by placing the tie-backs where ever.

See, one wouldn't even know they were there until up close. You can really see how the clear tacks come into play here.

Why fuss with buttons?

Lose your tie-backs? Not a problem-just adapt. Always keeps some spare tacks handy.

Symmetry-shmymetry.
