On a day that I have nothing to do, I find it fun to go look at model homes to get decorating ideas. At one home I saw some very nice rugs hanging from a metal rod (as a wall decoration). It looked so beautiful. I thought about what I could do to get the same effect, but on a budget. Since fancy rugs can get very costly, I came up with an great idea…use two fancy towels and sew them together. I did just that. I found two really nice towels at Marshalls that looked kinda oriental and fancy. I sewed them together and then sewed little black pieces of fabric from the top of one side (so I could hang it). I then slid the rod through the loop holes I had made and there it was, a beautiful wall hanging. The towels cost me $7.99 each and the rod I found at Target for under $15. I think it looks pretty nice for being so inexpensive. Plus I get a lot of compliments on it and when I tell people it is made of towels, people give me a surprised look.
