DIRECTIONS

Curtains:

1. lay drop cloth

2. cut down center of fabric and pull down the seam to divide in half

3. Iron if desired (I sprayed mine with febreeze and in 3 days they were wrinkle free)

4. add four clips onto the curtain (have the cut seam go toward wall and clean edge toward window) and hang

White Curtain Look:

1. fill washer or tub with hot water (large load)

2. add 1/2 gallon of bleach

3. let cloth sit in mix for 8 hours

4. run wash after 8 hours

5. delicate dry or air dry

Cut pipe to size:

1. After cutting pipe, spray paint pipes to desired color

2. Put copper bell hangers above window at desired height.

3. Put pipe into them

4. add fitting for custom bay windows etc.

5. Open curtain hooks and hang curtains(4 clips to each curtain)

No sewing, no hassle. I love these so much and I will probably use them in our home forever. If you’ve never tried drop cloth curtains, I’d definitely suggest giving them a go. You just can’t go wrong at $11 for two curtain panels!

Since they are canvas I actually think they’re a bit heavier than your typical curtain. They’re certainly not black-out curtains, but they still do a great job when it comes to keeping light out. They are AWESOME. I hope this step by step drop cloth curtain tutorial was helpful.
