No-Sew Window Treatment w/ a Standard Purchased Panel

by The Everyday Home/Barb Garrett

As a military wife who moved so many times I simply stopped counting, I figured out after the 4th or 5th move that constantly buying new window treatments for every home would get tiresome and expensive.So I created this easy no-sew window treatment where i could use inexpensive window panels. I have even used shower curtains I found on clearance. You simply fold the panel so that it is the same width as the rod (allow enough to wrap the ends), and double the length you desire the treatment to be (i.e a 22" long drop, fold 44"). Drape over the rod, and use ribbon or cording to draw up the panel on each end to create a draping affect. Easy, easy!

Hi there for some reason I can not view your how to do your cheap make over curtain idea with ties. I can imagine how you've done it but would like to know how you've attached curtain to window. Can not see how in pics.
