Ho Ho Ho Valance

Lots of people break out special decorations for the holidays...how about changing up your curtains too!!

Head to the handy dollar store to buy a bunch of inexpensive Santa hats.  Make sure you get enough to extend all the way across your window.  You can sew all of the hats together and create a hook in the back to feed a curtain rod through.  If easier, you can just attach hooks to each hat to hang individually from the rod.  Cover any imperfections with garland and lights across the top of the rod.  You can finish styling with green or white curtains.  My mother opted to bookmark her valance with two large bows instead.  While my parents have a ton of holiday decorations, mom's latest valance invention has become the centerpiece of the living room.
