Anyone can decorate with sheets as very little, or even no sewing in some cases, is needed. If you don't cut the sheets you don't usually need to sew them as they are already hemmed. Iron-on tape can also be used in some cases such as for making curtains out of sheets. Many different projects for the home can be made with sheets including table cloths, curtains, duvet covers and accessories for children's rooms and even bathrooms.
A sheet can be folded and you can add elastic cording to make a gathered skirt for a pedestal bathroom sink. You can even decorate with sheets in the bathroom by making a shower curtain out of one. Just use an inexpensive plastic liner under it. A pillow case with a silk cord sewn into it for a drawstring can make a laundry bag for travel.
If you buy extra sheets that go with a children's themed room, you can make simple curtains for the room that still look great. Plus, it's usually much cheaper to make your own curtains from children's printed sheets rather than buying ready-made curtains that are sold with your child's comforter. If you can't buy extra sheets when you buy the comforter, you could use the flat sheet for curtains, if your child's window isn't too large, and then buy a solid color sheet elsewhere on sale to use with the printed fitted sheet on your child's bed.
If you have a sewing machine, you can decorate with sheets in any bedroom by stitching up three sides of two sheets placed together to form a duvet cover. You can use Velcro tape on one end so that a quilt can be inserted and re-closed. Then, you can also use coordinating sheets to make curtains. A really easy, no-sew way to decorate with sheets as curtains, if the sizing is right, is to simply drape two sheets over the ends of a curtain rod and then secure in place with a drapery cord or other tie-back.
Don't be afraid to decorate with sheets in the kitchen and other parts of the home if you find the right sheets to give the look you want. Sheets can make great no-sew table cloths and you can use two complementary colors — one on top of the other to give a table an interesting look. Sheets can also be used to make light and airy kitchen curtains.
