King Sized Pillowcase to Valance
My son took over one of our extra king size pillows!  I am not sure why he thinks he MUST have a pillow that large?!?!  (he has a twin bed..go figure...)  Anyway,  I bought a package of black king size pillow cases to go with his Razorback bedding.  (Yes, he LOVES the RAZORBACKS!---It is an ARKANSAS thing I guess!) 
One day while cleaning his room I found the extra pillow case wedged far beneath his bed.  I wondered what I could do with this extra black pillow case.  I had yet to put up any kind of window treatment to match his new bedding.  I figured I could at least throw a valance together using the extra pillowcase.
Basically, all I did was take out the stitches out of the one side.  The other side I just cut straight across.  That left me with one long panel.  I hemmed each side.  At the top I made a bigger hem all the way across to insert the curtain rod into.  
It turned out great!  I love fast and simple projects like this one!
