Does anyone have any great ideas for cheap curtain ideas?

Pretty flat sheets work great, putting the curtain rod through the fold at the top of the sheet.

Stacey, do you sew? Have you checked places like Walmart? I'd say check resale shops, but I've never found anything that had enough of what I needed, if that makes sense. If you sew, you can get some really inexpensive fabric at JoAnn's or Hobby Lobby and use a coupon. Hope this helps a little!

Do you have any sheets you can make into curtains? Also check at garage sales and goodwill.

Sometimes websites like Wayfair.com have clearance items and stuff ships free. We got gorgeous curtains for our dining room on Wayfair and they were on sale for 12 dollars for 2 panels.

You can use BEACH TOWELS, or a sheet from the bed, and then use a accent towel, that has a similar color in the towel. This is easy and you can change any color, you choose. Enjoy, and try to keep them as cheerful colors, ok? If you don't have any window shades, you can use a dark color, then you can sleep better at night, and then use the lighter towels over it, like a second rod. This will work just fine. The first one, will be on a extension pressure rod, and you can adjust this, as you choose. Enjoy, and you can make lots of spring colors, or summer choices, as you choose, or your favorite colors., perhaps to match your bedspread., or to match other colors in this room. Have a good time. PS . . you can also pin these with safety pins, to make this easier to remove, and put on. This saves time, just wash these first, for room fresher, ok? Judy.

I agree with Suzanne!

Oh can buy curtain rings and use about anything as a curtain The ring slip over the curtain rod and the little clip just attachex right to the eshe of the curtain or whatever you like to use you can get them at Walmart a package of seven is less than five dollars

Here is what I am doing with my bedroom windows this week.

I hope that helps. No sewing, cheap and unique to every other curtains out there.

I use sheets. Cheap and EASY!

I just finished that project!! After considering all the DIY options, I found the my best choice to be IKEA! You can get a pair of full length panels for under $20, difficult to DIY cheaper, and look very good!

Thanks so much!

Sure. go to the sheets department. there are many types of colors/patters. hem/to fit rod and length.....have fun!

The Muslin Drop Cloths @ Home Depot, & they come in all sizes

Thrift stores have light weight draperies that can be cut to needed sizes

Oh cool, I will have to check that out! They are Muslim and not canvas?

Thank you! Love thrift stores!

muslin, sheets, towels,

I moved into a cabin that had no curtains, only blinds; when winter came on...No amount of heat would keep it warm in there! I took queen size sheets, cut them into quarters, hemmed the necessary edges, opened the top edge for a 'pocket' for the fishing line to pass through[didn't have rods!] & made 'pockets' for the other end [that didn't have them] & hung them with small finishing nails & fishing line. The cabin now stays ALOT WARMER.

thrift stores carry drapes that are often light weight. They can be cut down to the sizes you need and resewed.

Thank you

I also make lace curtains from thrift store lace table clothes, they usually run about $2 each. You can dye them too, and you can fabric paint some of the major floral details.

Sometimes you can find shower curtains on clearance. They are large for the price. They already have a way to be hung. You might try online or the bath and bedroom box stores.

Depending on what style you are looking for, decorative flat sheets will do the job.

I will check it out

Big box stores such as Target, Walmart, etc. have clearance online clearance. Oh, and IKEA has some great buys too. Here is a site I have been looking at. https://www.halfpricedrapes.com/

Drop cloths come in did sizes as well - great texture to them

old table cloths another idea

I safty pinned a hem in Harley throw. They fit just fine

Ikea! You can order online if there isn't one in your area. The plain white ones are about 10 bucks a window and you can paint or sew ribbon onto them to dress them up. I like that they are so long you can hang them high and you can do almost anything with them.

IKEA has inexpensive curtains. Even a white mesh curtain set for $5. For this amount, you can dye them,cut them up, do whatever you want, and even if you make a mistake, it's only $5!

If you get solid color sheets, you can paint or stencil on them with colors to match your decor. Also for your odd sized windows, pillow cases might work. Drop cloths are inexpensive and easy to work with. Hope this helps. Good luck.
