The Tip Board
Drapes or
bedding too stiff to hang right or look natural? Just line with
heavy-duty aluminum foil, sew edges to cover, and then bend your
material to whatever shape you need and it will stay put! Fine
wire inserted into the seams of bed coverings will help them to fold
down nicely too!
*****
Decorating
Hint: A small touch of green added to any room will enhance all
the other colors you have used. The green can be added as simply
as a throw pillow, plant, or area rug!
*****
When
printing out your own images for miniature artwork and paintings, a nice
way to add realism is to print them on linen resume paper and then cover
the printed surface with mod-podge using small, criss-crossing strokes.
