How to Make a Peek-a-boo Shower Curtain MATERIALS.
* Pieces of cotton fabric * Fabric shower curtain liner * Paper * Pencil * Scissors * Iron * Fusible web (sold in fabric stores) * Clear vinyl * Waxed paper * Craft adhesive * Clear vinyl shower curtain (to hang behind peek-a-boo curtain) DIRECTIONS.
1. Wash and dry the cotton fabrics and the cloth liner so they won't shrink later and pucker or pull away.
2. Draw your design on paper, actual size, and cut out the pieces to use as templates. Brown craft paper is great for this.
3. For each paper template, cut out a slightly larger piece of fabric. Iron a piece of fusible web to the back of it.
4. Set each template on top of the fused layers and trace around it. Cut out the tracing, but leave the peek-a-boo holes intact. Then peel off the fusible web's paper backing.
5. Position the fabric cutouts web side down where you want them to sit on the fabric shower curtain, and then iron them in place. When the ironed area is cool, flip the curtain over and iron the back. If your design has more than one layer, add the rest of the fabric pieces using the same method.
6. Cut out the peek-a-boo holes by cutting through all the layers of fabric, including the shower curtain itself. Trace the peek-a-boo holes onto the clear vinyl; make sure to leave a half-inch margin all around (for the glue). Then cut out the "windowpanes."
7. Place the shower curtain face down and tuck a piece of waxed paper under each opening. Apply a thin line of craft adhesive along the edge of the pane, in the half-inch margin. Make sure to do this in a well-ventilated area, as the fumes can be bad.
8. Position the pane over the opening, glue side down.
9. Cover the window with another piece of waxed paper before pressing down on the glued edges. If you get excess glue on the vinyl, peel it off after it dries. Allow the glue to dry completely before hanging the curtain in front of the clear vinyl liner.
10. Enjoy spying on your beloved as he/she is in the shower! Or enjoy being able to look out into the bathroom while you're in the shower yourself, just in case someone's sneaking up on you!
