Faux Curtains


I wanted to add to Meme's Faux no sew Class.


My instant no sew curtain trick is Sheets. I use a flat sheet and hang from these rings with clips.
Look they are ready to go, and no sew!

I have 9 foot ceilings, I used king flat sheets, for rooms with lower ceilings twin sheet work great.
Sheets are inexpensive and look great, I always get compliments on the window treatments and when I let my secret out no one believes me!

  9. That looks incredible!!! And I'm in love with your couches too :). I once used pillowcases to make a cafe curtain in a former house, and everyone loved it! Great inspiration -- thanks for sharing!

  10. So glad you all love the sheet, cause I sure do. I did bought a High thread count on these (600). I purchased them a Bed, Bath and Beyond and was able to purchase Flat Sheet separately. Buying separates is key, it is still cheaper than traditional curtains. My sliding glass door I used 2 sets of sheets and on my windows I cut them in half and just folder over the edge. The rings where purchased at Wal Mart. Wal Mart also has a huge selection of flat sheets in basic colors, I used a Chocolate Brown flat Sheet and hung it as my shower curtain in the bath, I brought it all the way up the the ceiling. Wal Marts flat sheet start at $8. for twins up $13 for Kings. Oh, and my little chair is Pier One!
