...made this a while back...fixing the bathroom

First, I needed some "artwork" for the blank wall.

1. Old $1 store picture frames.
2. Cute scrapbook paper from my collection.
I choose one of my favorite papers (the one with the birds) and designed the color scheme around it, choosing coordinating papers.







Second obstacle...the ugly tub. The shower/tub is supposed to have sliding stall, only they were not so slidy. So they slid on out to the sun room. Now I need to cover the ugly exposed tub. I already had a white shower curtain but need it to be longer, but didn't want to spend the extra money for another one just so it would be longer. I went to Target and found the cheapest fabric curtain they had.

1. Take ugly green monster, trim to length needed to cover ugly whitish monster (tub), leaving the top portion with the shower hook holes in place.
2. Lay green monster on top of white shower curtain, mark with a pencil, through the shower hook holes.
3. Find cute coordinating buttons (I just used the ones I had), sew buttons on the white curtain on the pencil marks you just made.
4. Using scraps of fabric draw shapes you like to sew on new shower curtain (green monster). Embellish with ribbon and buttons. I echoed the birds and flowers from the scrapbook paper.
5. Layout your design, pin it in place, sew around the edges.
6. Hem the bottom of the new shower curtain (green monster).
7. Attach green monster, using the existing shower hook holes and the cute new buttons you sewed on the main (white shower curtain).
