Tutorial: Grommet curtain tie backs

A new set of tie backs is a great way to infuse some color and print to your window coverings without having to go to all the trouble and expense of making new curtains. Pretty Prudent shares a PDF project sheet for making a simple set of curtain tie backs. They have grommets at each end to hang from a small hook installed by your window. The downloadable project sheet is bonus material from their book, Pretty Prudent Home.
