DIY Drop Cloth Curtains

I was looking for curtains to add to my room and was hoping to find something with a 'linen' feel. Drop cloth is somewhat 'linen' like so I tried my hand at creating my own curtains from drop cloth. And bonus, no sewing was involved!

    I made my curtains without any sewing :) I don't know how to sew either. So no need to know how for this project!

    I've looked at these in the stores and have been tempted since I don't sew. I like that sort of linen look, as you mentioned. Wonder how they would wash? Have you done that yet or would you take them to the cleaners? Just wondering. I have two dogs so I have to think about these things. Your curtains look beautiful!

    Thanks Donna! I actually pre-washed mine. It actually made the fabric softer, which was good. And that way if I want to wash them in the future I don't have to worry about them shrinking. And I just threw them in the washing machine...didn't take them to the cleaners :)

    Thanks for responding and that's good to know. One more question, did they iron well?

    Donna, I actually didn't need to iron them after I washed them. When they came out of the dryer they weren't wrinkled surprisingly :)

    I like the idea of doing drop cloth curtains, my walls in my living room are cream ( posted on here) would they be too neutral in my room?

    Rebecca, I don't think they would be too neutral for your room. You could also paint on the drop cloth if you wanted to add some color (stripes or a stencil). Just an idea!
