In the 1980’s, I was a single mom of two and little money. We moved into a rental house with lots of windows and no curtains. I hung sheets for awhile. Eventually I went to a fabric store and bought a ton of the cheapest fabric I could find - burlap. I made pinched pleated floor-length lined drapes for 4 rooms. They gave us the privacy we needed and looked great! (And I was really proud of myself.)

I have heard of using canvas painters drop cloths for curtains, slip covers, etc.

Honestly, I don’t think anything is a challenge for you, Kelli. You’re so creative. You always find a way to do something unique with different items. I’m never shocked. I’m never surprised at your creativeness. It just seems to come so naturally for you. Good job girlfriend.👏👏👏👏

Kelly, you’re hosting a diy mystery box. Not a Fashion Show. You look beautiful what ever you wear!! 💯💯💯👍👍🤭🤭🤗🤗💕💕💕💕💕

It's great to see you smiling today

May Jesus continue to bless you and your family

Kelly, you were a great host this month! You always do such a great job with these challenges and I am so glad you are in the MBC! You handled that toilet brush like a champ! Thank you for trusting me to make a special project to honor Ray. It was my favorite project I made. Great job, crafty friend!

Kelly you never cease to amaze me. You can take anything and craft with it. The toilet brush handle was genius. I love what you did with the heifer plaque. It is great having you back happy and smiling. You go Kelly. Cant keep a good woman down. Have a safe happy weekend. Love you Kelly. ❤😊

You seam a lot happier today😊😊😊

I have burlap curtains in my living room. I didn't even sew them, I just folded over the rod and pinned with rusty safety pins. Privacy with a little light.

If you want the burlap look with your curtains use the large canvas drop cloths that painters use. My sister has them in her house and they’re gorgeous.

"Oh, my word," I have been excitedly waiting for this all day! Do I need popcorn?

Loved everything but especially the cow plaque! I think you may have missed a burlap opportunity with the scroll part 🤔 btw...the memorial piece that Courtney made you for Ray was absolutely beautiful, thoughtful and useful.

I love them all but i think my favorite is the cow hanger

Kelly really liked the toilet paper holder it could also be a paper towle holder. That cow was so cute. God bless you and your family. 🤗💜⚘

Kelly, you look so pretty today! You have a little spark in your eyes again. Great challenge!!

I watched you first, but I already know you did the best. You are the most artistic, creative and think outside the box crafter I've seen. Your designs always have the most polished outcome. Go Kelly. You rock. No stitches this time?

I want to see the burlap curtains when you do them, I would like them too, I am not creative like you.😊

I think it’s time to get more challenging and weird with getting those items. It’s so funny and entertaining when something outrageous comes thru to DIY. love to see more DIYer vs DIYer. No mercy. Their faces on a mystery item is priceless. Love how everyone still manages to come thru with great projects.

😂😂😂😂 my favorite part of watching the mystery box challenge is seeing the looks on all of your faces when u get something really challenging. But you all manage to still make neat stuff. Love it!!

Enjoyed all your farmhouse crafting DIYs. Thank you for sharing and entertaining us. 😊😊😊😊😊

Oh my gosh Kelly you were in your element I loved everything you did. You have such a creative mind.❤

Last one is my favorite, too cute!

You are so creative. I thought you would be stumped by the tool holder but you came up with a winner. You should win the challenge.

Kelly you did an amazing job on all of your projects! I especially love the first project you made. So cute!!

You did a fabulous job Kelly! Especially with the “garden tool” and the toilet brush! You are amazing! ❤Diane from NJ

This was such fun! When you are given a toilet flood, you also get a brush to clean it up! Your talent shows itself in the challenge! It’s great to see what you come up with! 💛

Kelly, I swear you are a genius! The toilet paper holder was just out there. Wow!

Makes you think out the box and even the garden tool. Great for small kitchens to hang utensils, mop or broom

Hi Kelly, Only thing to say about your DIY challenge is WOW MY GOODNESS YOU SMASHED IT 🤗😃 good on you Kelly, loved everything you made well done 👍💖

I'm a Farmhouse fan too, Kelly and I loved everything you created. ❤

I love the blank looks on you when you open the challenge items.😅

Me too 😂. That gave me a good laugh 😂.

Wow, I dont think it was a challenging box at all for you. Great job. Love the kitchen tool hanger. ❤

Kelly, you did a beautiful job! I especially love the cow bell, kitchen tool hanger, and the scroll! Amazing! And wear whatever you want to any time…you are as lovely as ever!

I think this is the best mystery box you have ever done! Loved everything!!🥰🥰🥰

Wow! You sure do how to think out side of the box! What a creative mind! I love everything you did!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Kelli, the cow bell is absolutely adorable! Loved the cork board! You are amazing, who would have thought to make a toilet paper roll holder out of the brush handle! Fantastic! Oh my goodness, the cow on the gingham holder, so beautiful!❤️❤️

Thanks for sharing, Kelly!! I loved that cow!! The utensil holder was ingenious!! Yes, everything was farmhouse inspired!! Great job!! Love you!!❤❤❤

Burlap for curtains, are super super cute. A friend of a friend. Had some in her house. They was so cute. They fit her decor, perfectly. ( I grew up calling burlap bags, crocker sacks. That's what the men and women who oystered for a living put the oysters in ). I love watching all the mystery box challenge. They are so fun to watch. I am having a hard time trying to pick a favorite one. They all turned out so good. Thanks and may you have a Blessed day.

Croaker sacks😊 we grew up a fishing, crabbing, family. And boy did those things stink.❤

Love love love the mystery boxes. And your reactions to the items

So good to see you creating again! Always enjoy seeing your creations & farmhouse themed projects are right up my alley! You are so loved dear sister & you are completely enough for each day!

So creative! I love watching you craft!

FANTASTICALLY CREATIVE!!!! Keep smiling ❤ Still keeping you and your family in my prayers 🙏

Good job. 👍 Really hope you make some burlap curtains. Would love to see your special style on those for your home. Blessings.❤️

You're so creative Kelly! You look happy doing what you love.

I love everything you made, but the Heifer cow one is my favorite

You nailed it Kelly! I really loved the kitchen tool hanger!

Kelly, Just wanted to say you brighten up the world with your personality and your crafts

😍Loveee all 5 of your mystery box challenges! you did so awesome it's hard to pick a fave🤠love the cow🐮scroll, the cow bell🐄the farm kitchen utensil holder, the picture and message🌻board, toilet paper holder. All are fantastic and inspiring✨🫶🏼

The cow bell is so cute!!

Wonderful job Kelly! I love everything you created! Have a wonderful week

Love everything you made. Great use of the garden tool you turned into a kitchen utensil holder. Loving the cow scroll plaque. Turned out awesome!!!

Love the scroll pic and the adorable cowbell. I could see the bell converting at Christmas time

Super cute ideas! Loved them. Praying for you and your girls Kelli.❤

These were so cute. I loved the cow plaque and the cow bell. They were all great. Loved watching. Thanks for sharing 🥰

I love your face when you opened the gardening tool…Maybe that’s why she sent the sweet treat?! Bless your heart!

Great job Kelly! I love the cow bell, so cute!

🤯 Once again, you’ve blown my mind with your creativity! I wish my DT’s had that Heifer Please sign. I love it!

Love the cow bell. All of them was good.

Well done, Kelly! LOVE the Heifer scroll!!! Too Cute! xxoo

You are amazing with crafts. How you came up with all your ideas? They are all great. I loved all of them. Thanks for sharing Kelly

Kelly, l love this Mystery Box Challenge. All dyi are awesome‼️ Nice idea on the garden tool. ❤❤❤❤

The moment I saw you hold up broom holder item, the dowels, and toilet brush, even skimmer, I thought make birds nests using bristles of brush, stick in flowers, tie ribbon bows on handles. Skimmer can hold a birds nest too. Dowels can be painted brown, put pipe cleaners on and make branches, glue on flowers, birds. Put in the broom holder to hang on your wall.

You nailed this challenge with every item you made! I think my favorites were the cowbell, and the utensil holder! But all are so clever, so creative, so stinkin’ cute! You did a super job creating and hosting. You seemed genuinely refreshed and chipper! ❤❤❤

In the 70s I had to inexpensively decorate one large bedroom for my three children, a girl and two boys. I found red burlap and made roman shades and added a red/white/blue fabric valance, which perfectly with the red white and blue shag room sized rug!

Kelly, those are BEAUTIFUL!! I think I love the 'heifer please' plaque the best.

❤ You are officially amazing!! As long as you have twine, burlap and dirt, you got this!! So clever and functional and beautiful!! Great job 👏 Love and hugs to you,the girls and of course the scrumptious furr babies!! 🦋

So happy to see you Kelly! The cow picture was my favorite 🙏🥰🙏🥰

Hi Kelly. I'm just stressing about some issues in my life but I am trying to relax. Watching you always helps.

You cowbell is my Favorite Ever!!! I mean that is so cute and inventive! You always increase my spirit.❤

The Myterious box challenges are always ones I look forward to seeing. So fun & creative

Ah, this was just what I needed after a long day at work. Laughing while watching your expressive face when you look at the items. And then the enjoyment and excitement when you come up with the cool ideas. These mystery box challenges add an extra element of fun to the DIY videos. Really love seeing what y'all come up with. I liked all of your creations, but gotta say that the "heifer" plaque was so adorable. Thanks for the relaxing and fun video. Hope you enjoy the rest of your day and have a great weekend!

I really liked the farmhouse kitchen sign. You are so clever!

Kelly you are an amazing, creative, resilient, caring woman. ❤ One day, one hour at a time.

Kelly you amaze me, you're so talented and so creative!My favorite is the toilet paper holder!

Girl!!! I have burlap valences in my kitchen. Love them!!!

June's mystery box challenge!!!! Congrats KELLS!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Haha when you made the bell thought you were going to use the part you removed from the candle stand as the clacker! I love how it turned out

Kelly, I have made burlap curtains out of toe sacks for my sons western bed room. They look great

Amazing creativity with this box Kelly! Thanks for the ideas!

Kelly I went over to Courtney’s video and wow you two are so amazing at what you come up with. I’m so excited to be following her too now.

Kelly, you nailed all those mystery box items. And the one with the garden tool holder, that was genius. I have to make some of those. They will make great gifts for sure.

I once had burlap curtains. Twice, in fact. The first set I made were made out of potato sacks. The second, I just bought yards of burlap and made hangers with loops of leather. I screwed hangers into my walls with stained thread spools with stained wood beads on the ends. They looked great!

You could use burlap for curtain binders even if you don't do all burlap, but either would work! 🤷 ❤😂💖

You did a great job as host Kelly. The cow bell was so cute. All of your DIY'S were great!

Oh man what beautiful and fun projects. You always make the best of everything.

Great DIYS Kelly! I loved them all but the Farmhouse Kitchen and the Heifer Please were my favorites. Thanks for hosting this month's Mystery Box Challenge. ❤

Yay love the crafts, the cow is adorable!!! ❤

Great job. Like all of your decor. Good job with your challenge items. My favorite is the wall hanging. 🦋

It is SO GOID to hear you joyful again Ms. Kelly. God bless you. All of those were awesome.

so before I watch what you made with all of these cause I’m watching the replay, I have to say when you hung up the toilet brush and the skimmer on that garden tool I immediately thought of a kitty litter tool set. One for scoopin the poop and then the brush may be for cleaning the kitty litter box. Then you just clipped those babies up on the little clippy things and let them dry. Of course you may have to put some sort of little sign above that says kitty litter cleaning station.

Kelly ~ You did great job with your mystery challenge box. My fave was the cow bell! 🐄🐮

Really cute pieces, great job with the hosting duties! Cowbell was my favorite, super cute.

I love this challenge Jennifer certainly made you think outside the boxthe cow bell and cow plack are my favourite

So stinkin cute. I love the farmhouse projects. So creative.
