5 Great DIY Curtains

If you’re lucky enough to have windows in your home, you’ve likely spent a bit of time pondering the possibilities of window treatments.

Stenciled Drop Cloth Curtain.

These drapes are a fabulously stylish way to upcycle drop cloths! Stenciling on the bottom portion gives the drape pattern and a very slight ombre look. These are lovely, and I love how thick and durable they are – great for filtering light when the curtains are drawn. And, as always with anything DIY, the stencil could be anything you like that works in your space. Fabulous.{found on creativeoutletsofathriftymindedmomma}.
