Display a favorite collection of photographs or postcards in a shower-curtain art gallery. All you need is a pair of clear shower curtains. Cut one up to create plastic picture pockets, and attach them to the second curtain with grommets. Materials:
Two clear shower curtains
Scissors
Small grommets
Optional: spray enamel to paint grommets
Grommet attachment kit
Photographs, postcards or greeting cards
- Cut one shower curtain into square and rectangular pieces, which will serve as plastic pockets. Cut the pieces to approximately 6" by 8" each if using uniformly sized postcards. If using photographs or other art, cut the pockets about 1" larger on all sides than the pictures. Cut as many pockets as you need to cover the shower curtain in an interesting pattern.
- If you want colorful grommets, spray-paint them and let dry.
- Place the uncut shower curtain on a flat surface to eliminate wrinkles and make adding grommets easy. A floor or a large work table is ideal. Place the clear pockets in a decorative pattern on the surface. Leave a 3" to 4" border on all four sides of the shower curtain to help keep moisture out.
- Use the grommet kit to attach plastic pockets to the shower curtain (figure A). Attach small grommets every 1/2" around the sides and bottom of each pocket, leaving the top open so you can insert the postcards or photos. Use a hard surface when hammering in the grommets: a cement floor or driveway works well.
- After attaching the pockets, hang the curtain, and slip postcards or photos into the pockets (figure B).
