We renovated my youngest daughter's bedroom last spring. And the contractor has yet to find and install a closet door.
So I have taken matters in to my own hands. I made her a really cool curtain door.
I started with a beaded curtain and installed it inside the closet.
Then I hit the fabric store and bought 4 different fabrics in the color palette I wanted. I selected fabrics that where not to stiff so that they would fall nicely. I bought 3 yards of each to be sure I had the length tho span the height of my door. I also purchased some spools of thin ribbon in my color palette.
I spent the following few hours cutting strips of fabric approximately 3 inches wide and longer than the door. I took 3 strips of fabric and tied them to the curtain rod and braided them together and knotted them when I reached the bottom. Perfection is not necessary here! I filled the entire rod with strips of braided fabric.
I added in a few strips of fabric without braiding them.
And then I tied on pieces of the ribbon.
Voila! A whimsical, gypsy curtain!
