DIY Curtains

“It takes half your life before you discover 

life is a do-it-yourself project.”

-Napoleon Hill

It took me a few tries to get the perfect curtains for my living space, and who knows what I'll think of them in a few months. Because I change my mind so often I try to find super cheap curtains at Salvation Army or Target's clearance shelf, but that's really hit or miss. I would make my own but I didn't feel that a sewing machine was a necessary use of my limited space but it turns out that I don't need one. Here are some great sites if you need custom curtains but have limited resources.

How To:

• Step by Step Cafe Curtains
• Duct Tap Curtains

Get Creative:

• Choose a style
• Double Sided Fabric Tape
• Fabric Glue
• Free Patterns

So get creative! There are all sorts of ways to make cool curtains that also give you privacy and display a bit better than a bed sheet tacked to the roof. Try fabric paint, use an eyelet tool (like the one we made the DIY laundry bag with), or full on dye them for the effect you want. It's all doable and easier than you might think.
