Covering a doorway without a door -

I have a bathroom in my home that sits right next to my bed and it has never had a door. I wanted to build some privacy that I could do myself that would be easy and inexpensive. I did this with just a tension rod and a shower curtain.

Slide the shower curtain onto your tension rod. (This shower curtain has built in shower curtain loops to hang from.)

I measured the tension rod to fit my doorway. I extended it just past the doorway for a tight fit, and I slid the tension rod into my door way. Here is what it looks like with the curtain closed.

Window Curtain -

You can use a shower curtain as a window curtain or in our case to cover these french doors that are in our home.

I hung 2 Command Hooks up on each door.

Another option would be to place the 3 Command Hooks above the door. One on either end and one in the center.

Using 2 tension rods, I placed 1 curtain on each of them.

If you were doing the above the door option you could buy a curtain rod instead.

I placed the tension rods onto the hooks and we had curtains.

Table Cloth -

Use it as a table cloth, paint drop cloth, or splat mat under a high chair.

Place Mats -

For my place mats, I used another place mat I had on hand to measure out and cut 4 rectangles of fabric.

I hot glued the edges and folded underneath to create a seam so the place mats wouldn't fray.

I set them on my table and the great thing is that they're waterproof.

Wall Art/Message Board -

Using the insert of my 11 x 14" frame that I bought, I placed it on my shower curtain and cut around it.

I placed the shower curtain section in my frame.

I hung it up as wall art and it doubles as a message board. Just use a dry erase marker and wipe it off when done.

I like your thinking outside the box! What I like as well. Today's shower curtains, are more fabric then plastic coated. I've ironed mine (reverse side), lowest steam setting. Easily removed any folds or wrinkles.
Same when, using a center portion of scenic artwork. Just stretching & stapling over any wooden frame. Looked just like canvas stretched artwork. Great for large wall coverings! Your ideas add to the "outside the box" list! Thanks 😉
P.S. Sos...when turning into curtains. How were they attached to the rod? 🤔👂
