Step by Step Drop Cloth Curtain Tutorial
I believe we all want to make our homes beautiful and it can become very stressful at the cost of how expensive home decor can cost.
I’m here to show you a cheap , no sew curtain that’s gorgeous!!!!!
No sewing, no hassle. I love these so much and I will probably use them in our home forever. If you’ve never tried drop cloth curtains, I’d definitely suggest giving them a go. You just can’t go wrong at $11 for two curtain panels! Since they are canvas I actually think they’re a bit heavier than your typical curtain. They’re certainly not black-out curtains, but they still do a great job when it comes to keeping light out. They are AWESOME. I hope this step by step drop cloth curtain tutorial was helpful.

Just covered a headboard in canvas drop cloth and painted it. It dawned on me yesterday that I should make the curtains from this drop cloth as well! I’m going to paint them to match and I bet that will help with sun coming in tremendously.

What a fabulous idea! I've been looking for ages for just the right fabric for our sun porch that wasn't going to break the bank. You've just answered prayers for the rods and curtains! Thank you!!

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
I’m wondering if the drop cloth can be dyed for a different color?
I have 90” from my ceiling to floor. Are drop cloths long enough to accommodate? Thank you.
I've always loved the idea of doing this but wondered would they be thick enough to be sun blocking; summers in the south are brutal and we get a lot of sun.
