Project #1 -- Don't have time to paint or fix cracks above your fireplace mantel? Here's how to hide flaws with decor. This idea can work anywhere!

·          Measure the space

·          Buy a curtain rod and enough decorative fabric to fill the space.

·          Install the curtain rod high on the wall, near the ceiling.

·          Finish the edges of the fabric -- by sewing or using an iron-on tape.

·          Fold the fabric in half and drape it over the rod. It's decorative and you're done!

Project #2 -- Want to hide a hole in the wall or add art work quickly? Get an empty frame and some fabric. In a few minutes you can:

·           Staple the fabric to the back of the frame. Gather it to create pleats for a unique look.

·           Hang your new art work!
