10 Uses for a Bedsheet

Every day on the Quick and Easy Decorating message board, women swap ideas on how to decorate their home in a flash. Recently, the board came up with 10 uses for a bedsheet. Here's what they said:

1. A curtain. The broad hem across the top of a flat sheet is big enough to thread a curtain rod through and hang over a window. Or drape over a tension rod and hang in an open doorway, built-in shelves or an exposed closet.

2. Duvet cover. Sew three sides of a bed sheet together; add some buttonholes, buttons or snaps. Voila!

3. A tablecloth.

4. Cut out the pattern and use it as an applique on pillows or paste to the walls.

5. A canopy. Depending on the size of the sheet you can make a canopy over your bed. You could do it a couple of ways. The first one: Hang it over a traditional four-poster bed canopy (you might have to add ribbon to keep it tied to the posts). Though it wouldn't fall to the floor, it would make a nice short canopy. If you had a smaller sheet, you probably would have to get two and sew them together.

   The second variation: Get a post or rod. Attach it to your wall in between the posts of your headboard (about two to three feet above the bed). Then drape the sheet over the rod and let the sheet fall over the bed in an inverted "V" shape.
