Simple No-Sew Curtain

              After I moved into my house, I had to make  a list of everything that I wanted to decorate or change. Trust me when I say that the list was very long,  not because there was a lot that needed to be done, but mostly because I just wanted to make it “my home.”
             
               There were a few windows that could use some cute little curtains.  I am not the best person with a sewing machine (clearly my mom’s talent with one skipped me), so I wanted to find an easy way to make window treatments.  Naturally my favorite place to find any ideas for my house was Pinterest, so I ventured there.  It was amazing how many ideas I found, but the best one was a no-sew curtain. No-Sew?!?! That would be awesome!
             

My Very First Curtain in my Bathroom

                I started with a small curtain in my bathroom, just to see if it would work.  Sure enough, it was so easy! Literally the hardest part of the whole curtain was deciding how much of a border I wanted.   If you want  to try a simple curtain, I would highly suggest trying these. I would try a small one to start with and then move to something bigger. After I made the one for my bathroom, I went on to make another small one for my craft room as well as a full size curtain. All No-Sew!!


Have fun with these easy, no-sew curtains!!

Another Small Curtain made for my Craft Room

What you will need:

• Material of choice; add at least 4” to your amount of material needed
• No-Sew Fabric Glue
• Curtain rod of choice
• Iron

How to make it:

1. Take your material and lay it on a flat surface, decorative side down. If needed, you can iron the material out.
2. Start with one of the sides first. Fold over the edge of the material, about 1”. I used an iron to make a crease to help the fold stay.
3. Use a small amount of the fabric glue to glue down your fold. This will create a small “border” or even edge. Do the same thing with the other side.
• Make sure that you are gluing the border on the “non-decorative” side.
• Now with the curtain that I did for my bathroom, I used tension rods, to create a small roman shade.  So for the bottom I created a 2” border, in order for me to slide the rod through.  If you are going to just do a plain, straight hanging curtain, then you can just create a small 1” border.
4. For the top, create a 2-3” border, depending on how big your curtain rod is. Do the same thing as you did with the sides, and glue them, except don’t forget to leave a space for the rod to go through! I almost made that mistake the first time, and glued the whole thing down!
5. Let the glue dry for a about 30 minutes before you try to hang you new curtain! And Ta-Da! You have created a simple, no-sew curtain!
