faux wrought iron window treatment

Well this pin caught my eye the other day on pinterest. (if you are on pinterest, look for me!)



I have an octagon shaped window that I never know what to do with.

However, when I saw this pin and went over to Blog "imperfectly perfect" http://tali-schiffer-oren.blogspot.com/2010/09/home-work-tp-flowerproject.html

I thought I could do this in that window.
So I started collecting toilet paper rolls. I marked off 1/2 inches then cut into strips.




Then I went to town glueing 5 pieces together to make flowers.



Then i glued all the flowers together and spray painted them black. To give the look of wrought iron.



Then placed the creation in the window (I placed it in between the window and the screen to hold it in place)



I love it! It gives the window character and it only cost me the cost of the black spray paint.


What have you been inspired to make lately?

I know creating something gives me great pleasure and helps me deal with stress, you should give it a try. Hope everyone has a great day!
