s
• Wooden curtain rod, painted white

Getting Started

1. Measure the width of the window. Make sure that the rod is the right width. Divide the rod into equal parts with a ruler and pencil, and screw in the eye hooks at the points marked.
2. Measure from where the rod will hang to a few inches above the floor. Cut lengths of silk cord to that measurement. Tie a knot at the end of each piece of cord.
3. Thread a straw onto the cord, pushing it down to the end where the knot will stop it.
4. Attach a flower at the end of the straw.
5. Thread through another straw.
6. Attach a leaf at the end of that straw.
7. Repeat steps 3-6 until the cord has been covered.
8. Attach each completed cord to each eye hook.
9. Hang the pole above the window.
