Approximate Time: Various
Supplies:
- Used bedspread (mine was a twin)
- Baskets of desired sizes
- Tray
- Journal
- Jar(s) with lid(s)
- Pillow forms (not shown)
- Hot Glue
- White Glue
- Ribbon, Trims
Instructions:
Lined Baskets: Place fabric in basket, leaving an and extra inch to turn under. Trim. Cut "darts" in corners (or every few inches if basket is round). Hot glue fabric in place, starting with the bottom. Turn under raw edges to meet with top of basket. Add ribbon bows if desired.
Jewelry Tray: Use a tray made of porous material, such as wood. Cut fabric about an inch larger than tray. Wet fabric and wring out. With foam paint brush, paint glue on front of tray. Attach fabric, removing bubbles. Add glue around edge on other side and press down raw edges. After 48 hours, seal with varnish.
Pretty Jars: With a vintage jar, I used the same method for covering the lid as I did for the tray and then trimmed the raw edge with ribbon.
Valance: I made this by removing one whole long side of the bedspread, keeping ruffle attached and adding a rod pocket at the top.
Hope Chest Cover: I used the other long side of the spread and just hemmed the raw edge.
'Nite Notes' Journal: Cut a motif from the fabric, attach with hot glue, add title with 3-D paint.

I THINK THIS IS A FAB IDEA! I LIVE IN GREECE AND WE DON'T HAVE ANY SECOND-HAND SHOPS HERE AND I'LL TELL YOU, I SURE MISS THE GREAT DEALS I FOUND WHEN I WAS IN THE STATES.
I BOUGHT A PRETTY INDIA GAUZE DRESS YEARS AGO (IT WAS AN EMOTIONAL BUY AS I DON'T WEAR DRESSES) SO I GOT IT OUT AND CUT IT UP AND DID LOTS OF THINGS WITH IT SUCH AS: COVERED A PLASTIC TISSUE BOX, COVERED A WOODEN IKEA MIRROR, COVERED MY ADDRESS BOOK, ETC. THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE TIPS.

This is a fabulous idea, and so pretty. What insight you must have to think of doing this. Makes me want to try something "new" for my bedroom also.
