One dilemma homeowners face is how to treat windows without spending a fortune, so here's a solution. This inexpensive drapery rod project is easily made in an afternoon. To complete the look, hang stock draperies from it.
Materials- fabric
- 2-inch-diameter PVC pipe
- spray starch
- iron
- spray adhesive
- 1 x 4
- 2-inch hole saw and drill
- wood glue
- 2 (2-inch) wooden drapery finials
- fishing line
- U-shaped valance hanger
- curtain panels
Step 1: Choose a fabric to wrap your rod. Here, we used fabric left over from reupholstering chairs. It was free and helps bring the bold print in a small dose to another part of the room. (Note: If you select a white fabric, paint the pipe to hide labels.)
Step 2: Measure the window from edge to edge; cut a 2-inch-diameter PVC pipe 4 inches longer than this measurement. This will allow for a 2-inch overhang on each side.
