I don’t know if you remember…but my master bedroom has given me FITS. You can go HERE to read the first part of me complaining…and HERE to read the second part of me complaining.
It’s kind of coming together. This is my vision plan
and I was having a heck of time trying to find curtains. I wanted navy blue striped.
Which is pretty common right. Couldn’t find them anywhere. (A. I live in a small town. and B. I’m cheap)
Anyways…I stumbled upon a shower curtain in my shopping travels…and thought. WHY THE CRAP NOT! Why can’t shower curtains be turned into real curtains!?I mean…look at all these fun choices!
You can do this two ways…buy two shower curtains and hang.
Or one curtain and cut it in half!
I literally just hot glued the edge that I cut and fold over and glue!
I used clips to hang them to my rod! and If they are too short than you can add a fun panel of fabric to the bottom!
Half curtains cover my windows…with no extra…but I don’t really close them. They are just decorative.
I actually have done this twice…
You can see that the curtains used to be floral…but I was worried that I may have gone floral crazy (notice the rug and cedar chest!) So I opted out for the stripes.

AND while my hot glue was out I might have hot glued a ribbon on a white bedskirt to add a pop.
I mean..why sew when you can hot glue?!I’m still on the hunt for a headboard…and a new duvet…and some stuff on my wall. THEN you will get a post of it all finished.
hold your breath.

Rofl! I love this so much! I had the same idea of using shower curtain to cover my roller blinds as I found the print I was at the fraction of the price if I bought the fabric!! High fives all around! Love your room!

I purchased shower curtains to make into bedroom curtains because I loved the fabric. I was looking to alter the tops into tab curtains but my rods are not high enough. I came upon your web site and loved your idea of using hooks to put them up. I also ordered two more shower curtains to make into Roman shades for the other bedroom. I love this idea and will be following your web site for more hints. Thank you.
