Shy Spirit Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Just found this thread (thanks to a link from Jeffrey). Terrific idea - going to try it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhonda Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 oooo I have some very thin woodsies that are oval I am going to try cutting around the outside of them with my scissors to make a scalloped edge then glue a mirror or picture into the center of them! Window box trim Trim under the edge of tables to fancy them up some. What do you call those rectangular boxes that you put over windows to hide the top of curtains? this idea would make neat trim on those. I have the motherload of those scissors that I got for my birthday back in the scrap booking craze they came in a lazy susan type container and I think there are 24 different kinds. Thank you for the nift ideas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornice boards. We call them Pelmets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a paneled drapery how-to I saved from an old copy of DHMS and have been wondering if that was what the pelmet was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shy Spirit Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Off-topic: When I first came to Canada, the children (I was ten) kept asking me to say something in "my" language. I was puzzled, because of course, I spoke English just as they did - except for the accent. After a while though, I realised that there were many word differences between "English" and "Canadian". For instance, "bonnet" is the "hood" of a car; "boot" is the "trunk" of a car; "petroleum" is "gasoline"; "nappy" is "diaper"; "dummy" is "pacifier" - the list goes on and on. And then there's the phrases! In England, if you "knock someone up" it means you knock on their door - while here .... well, YOU know what it means - and if you don't, that's for someone else to tell you! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debra from Olde Cape Cod Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 This tip could save us all a bundle on lengths of wood trim--gee, aren't those things over windows called the "board thingy over the window"? :monkeydance: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Songbird Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Thanks for the great ideas using those scissors! And that link was incredible, but I had to save it because I could look at it all night and my eyes are getting droopy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
