DIY -- Scrap Valance

I made this valance for the window in my sewing room this week. Lots of scraps, torn, and tied. That's it. Super easy.

Most of these strips are one inch wide.
Lengths range from 9 inches to 29 inches. You could trim them to hang the same length after you attach to the rod, but I did not. I also didn't worry about the wrong side of the fabric showing, or the color scheme. That's what makes this a "scrappy" project!

I ripped instead of cut - for a frayed/stringy look.
I mixed all the different patterns and colors. This would also look cool with all the strips from same fabric or various fabrics and patterns but all in a similar color scheme.
I folded my strips in half and looped over the rod.

Pulled tight and that was it. Over and over until I had enough strips to fit across the window.

This is too cute! It does look like it would be harder.
