Hand Embroidery Curtain Holders
"Beautiful curtain holders. Made of cotton embroidery tape and linen lining. Cross stitched. Loops made of glass beads. Easy to make, timetaking because of hand embroidery. But you can use decorative fabric instead. Detailed instruction is written on my blog (unfortunately in polish) but I enclosed many pictures that show how to make the project step by step."
