Diy No Sew Together 2 Toned Curtains

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

Hey ya'll! So, I've hold upwardly establish a solution to a niggling work that I come upwardly across almost every fourth dimension I purchase curtains. You know how most stores sell curtains that are either 63'' or 84''? But when you lot hang your curtains nigh the ceiling similar the mesh tells you lot to, they terminate upwardly beingness agency likewise short? And thence you lot hold off online, solely to discovery that most 95'' curtains are $100 a panel?
And thence you lot human face upwardly palm as well as create upwardly one's heed 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 brownish as well as thence 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 remember I kid, but I practise not.

You tin lay your caput side yesteryear side to the window as well as your pilus volition blow inwards the wind.

It's truly quite beautiful.

So, hold upwardly 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 drape rod at the ceiling as well as receive got the curtains pile on the flooring a bit. I used to hang the drape rod correct higher upwardly the window, as well as I've since learned that there's a much improve way. The mesh is a swell instructor of non-important life lessons such equally this.

Here's a really basic drawing (sorry) of i window, alongside curtains hung 2 unlike ways, to present you lot precisely what I mean.

In a nutshell, you lot tin brand your windows seem much bigger if you lot hang the rod at the compass of the wall nigh 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 truly is.

I did this inwards the office higher upwardly the door, as well as it made the room (and doors) hold off thence much bigger than they truly are.

So, for the living room, I had nigh $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 thence went to operate adding an extra panel of nighttime grayness stuff at the bottom of each curtain. I ultimately made them into 110'' panels thence that they would pile on the solid soil a niggling bit, just because I similar the agency it looks.

It was a truly slow procedure that literally just involves mucilage as well as scissors. Here's what I did inwards illustration you lot desire to add together around length to your ain curtains.

First, I bought four yards of grayness stuff (which was inwards the clearance bin for $2.99 a yard), but I ended upwardly solely needing nigh 2 yards for all four panels, thence oops.

Then, I set out my drape 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 four sides to allow for a seam.

I used Unique Stitch for the seams.
In retrospect, a coil of hem record (that you lot Fe on) would receive got been fifty-fifty easier to use, equally at that topographic point were a few times where I tried to describe a conduct work alongside the mucilage as well as it looked to a greater extent than similar a cursive dearest poem. But, the mucilage did indeed work.
You tin discovery 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 alongside 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 work of mucilage to the compass dorsum of the grayness panel, as well as attach it to the white panel. Then cutting off whatever remaining white stuff that hangs downward the back.

Since I prefer back-tab curtains, but these had rod pockets, I opted to hang them alongside around clips instead. I've never done that before, but I remember I may live 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 agency to purpose the clips (and I tried out quite a few ways spell googling how to practise it) was to origin at the terminate of the panel, crease the stuff dorsum as well as thence clip the crease closed. Then you lot just replicate that every few inches.

All that does is create a bunch of pleats, as well as it makes your curtains hold off much nicer than if you lot just clipped them upwardly at that topographic point all flat-like.

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

And that's truly all at that topographic point is to it. Now you lot officially receive got truly inexpensive curtains that hold off pretty good, as well as you lot tin brand them whatever length you lot want.

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

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