Projects for Those Tea Towels and Vintage Runners
Tea towels and runners can be converted into home decor--but not in the ways one would commonly expect...

Suggested Ideas: Be creative with those runners, doilies and tea towels. Embroidered and lace trimmed runners can be converted into decorative window treatments. Ordinary tea towels or finger towels, when placed side by side, create stunning dust ruffles. Commonplace embroidered or printed handkerchiefs make lovely accents for pillow tops. Think "out of the box" where those linens are concerned. That ordinary doily grandma crocheted years ago can be recycled into a Shabby Chic or Victorian statement, so stylish today.
