Question by BabyQuestions: Any creative ways to add color or window treatments to playroom?
I have 5 windows in my sons playroom. They have wood bisque blinds on them but I’d like to add something to the windows for color to make them stand out more, something like a valance. Any creative things I can make myself from home without sewing and a lot of hardware???

I had small pennets from sports teams I lined up along the top of the window in my Son’s room.
Give your answer to this question below!
I’ve seen on hgtv where they took ponchos and sewed a strip along two of them to create drapes for a young boys room, or a tarp material could be used to make drapes all you would have to do is punch holes on it and string them up. For the pole, you could use an umbrella rod, broomstick and paint it for color, or many other materials.
hope it turns out well! :]
I made a no sew curtain out of flat sheets. I used the sheets and bought brass rings that you squeeze together to open and attach and put them on a round curtain rod. They look great. You could use some fabric to make a valance and hang it like this. Just fold it and hang it to where you can’t see the raw edges. Walmart had the brass rings really cheap and I got my rod at home depot. Here is the link where I got the idea.

I saw a cute kid’s window treatment on a decorating show. They took those roller type window shades and painted designs on them ( let the kids help ). It was really cute!
I also saw a valance made from wood ( box construction ) and stuffed animals were attached using a belt. The belt was nailed down at intervals and the animals were inserted in the loops between where the belt was nailed down. Beanie Baby sized animals were used. It was real cute. You could paint the wood to coordinate with the room or the Beanies.
