My kids share a bedroom in my apartment. I want to divide it with a curtain from the ceiling, so it can be pulled back, but those curtain tracks are expensive. Does anyone know how I can DIY it cheap?

How about cup hooks, with a metal pipe?
I would purchase a length of 3/4" PVC or 3/4" galvanized pipe (1/2" would work too) and use that instead. You can purchase anchors specific for ceilings that would give you a strong place to hang it from on either end. Any of the main lumber stores (Home depot etc.) Will cut a piece as long as you need. Both would be plenty strong.
I hadn't even thought of that, and it's so simple. Thank you.
How big is their room? Could you divide their room with two bookcases...one open to one child's side and the other open to the other side. The bookcases could be as high as they need to be. Look at unpainted furniture and you can paint them yourself and not cost so much.
PVC PIPE is lightweight and available in lots of sizes and can be cut to the exact sizes you need. look for PVC PROJECTS for tips and ideas
