Events can really get expensive. Once they’re over, you’re left with all the event decor and linens. As a matter of fact most of the time they get put in storage and forgotten about. This takes up storage space and is a waste of perfectly good linens. Most people don’t know that you can repurpose just about any of your event linens! This guarantees you get the most out of your linens and the funds spent on them.
When it comes to reusing your event drapes the possibilities are endless since drapes are long pieces of fabric – you can use them for almost anything! We chose three of our favorite ways to get a little creative with your leftover drapes.
1. Home Decor
Using your drapes as home decor may seem a little obvious to some, but you may be surprised how many different ways you can use them to breathe new life into your home.
