You'll never believe what I made these curtains out of-A table cloth and 8 napkins! And the curtain rod is PVC pipe. I was going to get rid of the table linens and decided I had to be able to use them some other way, it's just so much fabric. I sewed four napkins to the short side of the table cloth. See the crease in the picture below, that is where I folded it over the rod-lengthwise. I spray painted the PVC pipe to match the wall sconces I got.
I needed a very long rod 116" to be exact. I was not going to pay the price to get one. Lowes had a 112" rod for $70, who knows what it was going to cost me to actually get the size I needed. Enter the PVC pipe at $3.40!!! This is the only way I am hanging curtains from now on. I splurged on the sconces they were $24 but still less than the rod would have cost me. After I got the rod hung I put the cloth on- folded lengthwise. I cut three pieces of ribbon and tied them to make the scallops and it worked perfectly-the side ribbons cover the seam of the napkins.
And there you have it a COMPLETE window treatment for under $30.
