Don't worry you will be using photocopies for your Vintage Postcards, so there will be no damage to your collections.

To make this simple custom vintage window treatment with Vintage Postcards you will need:
Vintage Postcards (photocopies)
Pinking sheers
Sheet of Paper (optional)
Black fine tip Sharpie
Two Teacup hooks
Two ribbons 20 inches long
1 - 2 yards of ribbon
Hot glue
Scissors
Tape Measure

The first step is to measure how wide and tall the inside of your window frame is. I like to make this simple custom vintage window treatment fit the bottom half of the window, but that are up to you. The Vintage Postcards custom window treatments will block a good bit of light, so keep that in mind.

So, the first step is to take your favorite Vintage Postcards to Kinko's and have them photocopied. You can do this in black and white or even in color. You choose. I personally think color is best because vintage postcards have beautiful blues, greens, and yellows in them.

Now, for the fun. Cut your sheet of paper out to the same size as your vintage window treatment.

Now, use this as a guide to lay your Vintage Postcards out in a pattern. You can over lap photos ot even line them up like tiles,

So, now you need to take your hole punch and poke holes in the four corners of each Vintage Postcard.

Now, take those inexpensive paper hole protectors and start applying them to the fronts an back of each hole you poked.
