1. Wrap and Secure the Twine
Take the twine and wrap it around the neck of the carafe, securing it in place with knots.
Create a hanging portion at the top, so you can place it on the curtain rod.
2. Cut Your Indoor Plant
Choose an indoor plant and clip off parts of it. This valance will not only serve as a decorative element but also allows you to propagate plants effortlessly.
4. Add Water and Clippings
Add water to the glass bottles and carefully place the clippings in the water. This creates adorable hanging glass planters that will bring life to your window space.
4. Install the Curtain Rod
Hang a curtain rod above your window.
Attach additional twine or rope from the rod to the twine connected to the glass bottles.
