En una de esas excursiones a Ikea, se me ocurrió la brillante idea de comprar estos paneles japoneses para la ventana del salón. Muy lista yo, sí, porque la dichosa ventana tiene una puerta para salir a la terraza. Así que de paneles japoneses, tururú. Como además había perdido el ticket y nadie los quería, se han pasado un montón de meses en el fondo del trastero hasta que se me ha ocurrido la forma de reciclarlos. Como soy muy apañadita, los he usado para hacer unos manteles que han quedado la mar de chulos. Aquí os dejo el "tutorial" o lo que quiera que sea esto, por si os sirve como inspiración.
Who has never been in an Ikea shop? Personally, I'm the kind of person who run towards the news-stand when I hear that new catalogue is available. And I leave it in the living-room, always near in case I need to paint it. Afterwards, we go on a little trip to Bilbao (there is not an Ikea shop in Santander) and we have to make bobbin lace to put it into the car ... I'm sure that I'm not the only one.
One day, in one of this little trips to Ikea, I had the brilliant idea of buying this panel curtains for the livingroom's window. A really good idea, considering that the mentioned window has a door to go to the terrace. So it was impossible to use the panel curtains. Apart from that, I had lost the bill so I had abandonned them in the lumber-room until the day I discovered how to recycle them. I have used the panel curtains to make nice recycled tablecloths. I leave here a kind of "tutorial", in case it is useful as inspiration.
MATERIALES NECESARIOS / MATERIALS NEEDED
- Panel japonés / Panel curtains
- Tijeras con filo en zig-zag / Scissors zig-zag shape
- Tijeras con filo en zig-zag / Scissors zig-zag shape
- Metro y lápiz / Tape measure and pencil
CÓMO HACERLO
Más fácil, imposible. Tan sólo hay que decidir la anchura y largura que queremos que tenga el mantel, en función de la mesa en que lo vayamos a usar. Yo los uso para la mesa de la terraza (la de la foto) así que escogí una largura de 150 cm.
It is veeeeery easy. First of all, you have to decide the width and the length of the tablecloth, depending on the size of the table where you are going to use it. I use the tablecloths on the table you can see in the photo, so I cut a piece 150cm long.

The panel curtain is 60 cm wide, which is too much for my table, so I cut 8cm in each side. To do that you only have to measure, paint a line and cut the fabric using the zig-zag scissors.
Y volilá, ¡aquí están los manteles reciclados ya terminados!
And voilá, here you have the recycled tablecloths finished!

Hoy os presento a la más floclórica de las Princesas. Lleva vestido de fieltro rojo, tela de lunares y tul blanco. En la cintura, le he puesto una cuenta de cristal Swarovsky blanco y el tocado se compone de una pluma roja y un botón de nacar. Si en lugar de tocado le ponemos una flor en el pelo, ya la mandamos directamente a la Feria de Abril, ¿verdad?
I'm going to show you today the most "folkloric" Princess. She wears a dress made of red felt, spotted fabric and white tulle. I have used white Swarovsky glass for the waist and the headdress is made with a red feather and a nacre button.
