I did make the original rods this past summer with dowels from Lowes that I spray painted black.įor my new and improved dining room 2.0 I wanted one long rod as opposed to two short ones. It would have cost me more to make my own curtain rods. These curtain rods are so inexpensive I felt like I HAD to get them and so far so good with them…no complaints. I like using tape for curtains since it forces me to iron my hem which gives it a nice clean hem. I usually use fabric glue for most of my no sew projects but this time I used an old friend and his name is hem tape. Have the kids told me 425 times how ugly they thought this fabric is? Yes. Do I think I am crazy for taking down perfectly fine curtains and “making” my own with this crazy fabric? Yes. Is this fabric out of my comfort zone? Yes. After my coupon it came to $6/yd so this is a very budget friendly project. I found this fabric at Hobby Lobby (link from Amazon in case you do not have a Hobby Lobby…which would be very sad). I knew I wanted something with a little color and drama to them…and better yet I didn’t want to break my piggy bank. I was having a hard time finding tablecloths or sheets that I loved. Tablecloths make great curtains, drop cloths are amazing as curtains, even sheets can make beautiful curtains. I think I looked at every single curtain on this side of the internet and could not find anything I liked AND 96″ long. I cannot begin to tell you how many curtains I looked at though.

And I knew I could move those white curtains into my office. I knew changing out my curtains would be the easiest and most budget friendly option. My eyes kept going to my plain white curtains I had already hung. I wanted a change in here but I had no idea where to start. This dining room is larger than my past dining room and it’s not giving me those warm and fuzzy feelings. I walk in there everyday with hopes that something will just jump out at me. I’m not sure what it is about my dining room but I have not been loving it lately.
