Adorable! My mom had corner weights for all her draw draperies so I made a little cover (or not!) and use them for interior weights.
ReplyDeleteGood idea ... I was thinking about using washers but they are not very pretty.
DeleteHave a great day..Peace as always, Barb
These pots are a great way to keep threads while punching! And, they look great when not in use too! Very nice!
