Guest Post- {{KIDS PRETEND PLAY}}

HELLO CRAFTOMANIAC'S Tracie here from Cleverly Inspired and it is such an honor to be here at Craftomaniac today! Total-blog-crush!!!! Thanks for having me visit Jennie!!
This is one of those projects I wish I would have thought of about 7 years ago----when MY kids could have used it. They would have LOVED this!
is it a puppet theater? is it a store front? is it an indoor lemonade stand??

who knows what they will think up---I love that about it!

A simple tension rod along with a few fabric scraps....makes for loads of fun! Here is how I did it...

My puppet curtain is 45 wide by 36 tall....you can make yours whatever size will fit on your tension rod. I figured the little girls I made mine for are going to use it in a bedroom doorway area. Cut up 3 scraps of fabric...45 wide by about 12 ...

sew together the bottom piece to the middle piece (right sides together)...if you don't want to sew...just cut the fabric with pinking shears and use a permanent fabric glue...(no need to do right sides together for the glue...)

sew the middle to the top...right sides together...

on the top piece--iron a hem flat and sew a straight stitch..this will hold the tension rod

thread the rod through....

I made a little added detail with black felt...I cut  scallops...


then I attached velcro with permanent adhesive...

let dry...if the glue gives you trouble with the felt---use a hot glue to attach the velcro...

Ready for some pretend play!!!
