DIY Window Treatments

If you are looking up to spruce up your home but would like to do so in an inexpensive yet classy way, a DIY window treatment may be exactly what you need.  There are many ways to personalize your windows without breaking the bank, from window films to a custom valance.  Read on for 6 DIY ways to personalize your windows.  

Peel and Stick Window Film

You can add flair or privacy to a window with peel and stick window film.  You can purchase all sorts of films, solid as well as patterned.  Check Walmart and online retailers for one that fits your style.  Once you order it, feel free to cut it into fun shapes and patterns to personalize your space.  

No Sew Curtains

Knotted Chiffon Curtains

To make this cute DIY curtain, you will need chiffon, a curtain rod and scissors.  Cut pieces of chiffon about 6” in width and about 6” or so longer than your window.  Attach the pieces to the curtain rod using a cow hitch. Voilà! An adorable DIY curtain.

Repurposed Items

You can repurpose the items around your house such as napkins, old bedsheets, scarves and other things as curtains.  Simply sew or glue ribbons on the back of the repurposed item about every 6”.  If you are using a sheet, you can create tabs by cutting open the top hem of the sheet on the sides, and then cutting tabs on one layer of the sheet 2” wide every 4”.  Slide a rod into the sheet along the tabs.
