DIY Curtains

We painted the girl's room a light blue and since it muted 

the room down I wanted to add a kick of fun fabrics.

I need to add that I am not a sewer. I can do it by hand and I know it would have been a faster process, but I can't do it!

So let me tell you what I did:

FABRIC

I bought 50% of the fabrics from stores, but I got the other 50% 

from garage sales. I was really excited to use vintage fabric.

CURTAIN BACKING

I also already had two panels of blackout curtains and my

 plan was to cover both panels, but it would have taken too long.

ADHERE FABRIC

I used wonder under, a fusible webbing. You can buy this at the
fabric store and you iron it so it can adhere to the fabric. This isn't a
quick and easy process!!!!

So I started at the bottom and just began adding fabric and working my way up the panel. I added trim pieces to spice it up and even used a real measuring tape which I glued on. I added a bunting and used the wonder under on that too.

I used old clothes pins to hold it up when I want
 natural light, this adds a unique element.

Like I said it took me hours to do and I won't do it again, but it looks great :)
