Need a quick and easy window treatment? It's so simple to use plain cotton fabric, paint and stencils to make your own designer curtains or blinds. In fact you can use this technique to design a custom fabric to decorate your entire home.

The stencils are so easy to make. Cut out your shapes from thick felt and glue these onto a scrap of timber or board. Use a foam roller to apply a thin layer of paint over the top and then carefully apply to your fabric. Lift off carefully. Reapply paint and stamp the next spot on the curtain.
