Yesterday I did the finishing touches on my less-than-$10 painted curtains which were inspired by these I found on Pinterest. I've got a few pictures of the process.
 |
| Folded the sheet in half and cut it (after ironing the crease for a better cut). |
 |
| Measuring the hem and placing the heat-n-bond in the seam. |
 |
| Measured out 10 stripes, 8" wide and taped them off. |
 |
| I abandoned the roller because it didn't coat as well as my little sponge brush. About two coats on each stripe. |
Annnd TA DA!
I'm so pleased with the way they turned out! You can only tell they're painted if you actually go up and touch them. But, I doubt anyone will be doing that so they'll just hang there and look amazing!
I found you link over from YHL and just had to post that a. I love these, b. these look exactly like mine I did last month! http://www.oursemiorganiclife.com/2011/10/diy-painted-curtains.html
ReplyDeleteI love these. I can't get over my fear of painting fabric though. I can paint anything else but fabric scares me!
ReplyDeleteThese look great! I made some for my boyfriend last week! I was really nervous about painting on fabric too, but it was so much easier than anything I'd painted before :)
