Home Interior: DIY No Sew Two Toned Curtains

Great tutorial on how to easily add together length as well as mode to whatsoever basic drapery panel DIY No Sew Two Toned Curtains

Hey ya'll! So, I've in conclusion constitute a solution to a piddling employment that I come upwards across almost every fourth dimension I purchase curtains. You know how most stores sell curtains that are either 63'' or 84''? But when yous hang your curtains close the ceiling similar the mesh tells yous to, they destination upwards beingness means likewise short? And as well as thus yous await online, exclusively to notice that most 95'' curtains are $100 a panel?
And as well as thus yous human face upwards palm as well as create upwards one's hear to acquire without curtains forever.

Well, that's basically what I've done since February.

Basically, I forgot to accept the curtains downward inwards the living room dorsum when nosotros were doing the floors, as well as during the joyous period of staining our floors nighttime dark-brown as well as and thus sanding them dorsum downward to the natural wood, the white curtains turned brown.

From the non-stop parade of dust.

So, later on a failed bleaching attempt, I threw them away. And pretty much since then, we've been without curtains. To brand matters worse, our 1970's windows are made of saran wrap. You retrieve I kid, but I practise not.

You tin seat your caput side past times side to the window as well as your pilus volition blow inwards the wind.

It's genuinely quite beautiful.

So, in conclusion this calendar week I broke downward as well as decided to supercede the curtains. And I wanted curtains that were at to the lowest degree 95'' long because I wanted to hang the drapery rod at the ceiling as well as receive got the curtains pile on the flooring a bit. I used to hang the drapery rod correct to a higher identify the window, as well as I've since learned that there's a much amend way. The mesh is a swell instructor of non-important life lessons such equally this.

Here's a rattling basic drawing (sorry) of 1 window, amongst curtains hung ii unlike ways, to present yous just what I mean.

In a nutshell, yous tin brand your windows seem much bigger if yous hang the rod at the transcend of the wall close the ceiling. Then, hang the curtains beyond the sides of the window. This completely hides the frame as well as makes the window appear much larger than it genuinely is.

I did this inwards the office to a higher identify the door, as well as it made the room (and doors) await thus much bigger than they genuinely are.

So, for the living room, I had most $50 to pass on novel curtains. So, non a lot, but a 'normal human' amount. So, I bought 2 sets of these white 84'' curtains as well as and thus went to operate adding an extra panel of nighttime grayness stuff at the bottom of each curtain. I ultimately made them into 110'' panels thus that they would pile on the soil a piddling bit, just because I similar the means it looks.

It was a genuinely slow procedure that literally just involves mucilage as well as scissors. Here's what I did inwards representative yous desire to add together just about length to your ain curtains.

First, I bought iv yards of grayness stuff (which was inwards the clearance bin for $2.99 a yard), but I ended upwards exclusively needing most 2 yards for all iv panels, thus oops.

Then, I set out my drapery panel, measured how long I wanted them to ultimately be, as well as cutting my grayness stuff accordingly. I left an extra inch on all iv sides to allow for a seam.

I used Unique Stitch for the seams.
In retrospect, a ringlet of hem record (that yous Fe on) would receive got been fifty-fifty easier to use, equally in that place were a few times where I tried to describe a lead business amongst the mucilage as well as it looked to a greater extent than similar a cursive honey poem. But, the mucilage did indeed work.
You tin notice Unique Stitch or Hem Tape on Amazon (affiliate links).

Before I attached the grayness panel to the white panel, I made a seam on each side of the grayness panel amongst the glue.

Basically squirt mucilage wherever a seam would be.

Try to practise it neater than I did.

Once that's dry, flip it over. Apply a business of mucilage to the transcend dorsum of the grayness panel, as well as attach it to the white panel. Then cutting off whatsoever remaining white stuff that hangs downward the back.

Since I prefer back-tab curtains, but these had rod pockets, I opted to hang them amongst just about clips instead. I've never done that before, but I retrieve I may hold upwards newly converted.

It made a large departure as well as made the curtains hang almost equally if they were pleated. I used v of these curtain clips (affiliate link) per panel.

My favorite means to purpose the clips (and I tried out quite a few ways spell googling how to practise it) was to outset at the destination of the panel, plication the stuff dorsum as well as and thus clip the plication closed. Then yous just replicate that every few inches.

All that does is create a bunch of pleats, as well as it makes your curtains await much nicer than if yous just clipped them upwards in that place all flat-like.

I know because I did that as well as it looked genuinely depressing.

And that's genuinely all in that place is to it. Now yous officially receive got genuinely inexpensive curtains that await pretty good, as well as yous tin brand them whatever length yous want.

Ignore my diminutive attempt at a Fiddle Leaf Fig. I constitute it here for $17, as well as although I swore to myself that I would never throttle on this prepare (because of my history amongst plants), I eventually succumbed. Because it was $17.

And as well as thus it arrived as well as it was 2 feet tall.
