Here is how I made mine in about five minutes and without sewing... I love the texture (and price) of the Blue Hawk drop cloths available at Lowe's, which is what I used in the photographs shown here. I have bought several from there and now have curtains made from them in both my living room and playroom. To make two long panels, I purchased one 4' x 15' drop cloth (update 11/19/15: I am not sure they still carry these specific drop cloths at Lowe's).

I chose this size because I needed them to be about 7' long by 4' wide but they didn't have that size ready made. I threw it in the washing machine first, without detergent, to loosen it a bit, dried it and then folded it in half. If you really wanted to iron it first at this point you could, but I chose not to (can I get a, "Lazy!"). I then cut it (as straight as possible) down the center. I found drapery clip rings at Target and purchased a dark bronze for the living room and satin nickel for the playroom. Here are some drapery rings (affiliate link*) that show the wide variety available. The packages that I bought had seven each in them, so I bought a set for each panel. I recently decided to redecorate the playroom into a more "industrial" style than colorful/vintage, so I have started by redoing the curtains. You can check out the one I had made previously here, but I was never happy with it (so much so that I never made the other). I finally figured out why...it was way too short!

I don't know what I was thinking, plus I just got really tired of seeing the polk-a-dots from the living room (and I know that my kids don't mind either way), so out went the old and in went the new...volvo vnl curtains UPDATE 11/19/15: I don't know if Lowe's still carries this brand of drop cloths. curtains and blinds airlie beachThe Blue Hawk brand is specific to Lowe's. parrot ornithology curtainsHere are some other canvas drop cloths (affiliate link*) to check out, although I don't know how the would compare to these in color and texture as I have not used any other brand.jcpenney waverly curtains I do not have a tutorial for the industrial pipe rods.

Not only do they add a whimsical, breezy look to your porch or patio, but they can also provide needed shade.

Learn from Traci, author of , how to make your own affordable from simple drop cloths - like the kind you buy at Home Depot or Lowe's. Then see how our , made her own curtains using this tutorial. Lori, one of our readers, followed Traci's tutorial (below) and made these curtains for her porch What a difference these curtains make to Traci's patio. Traci is a self-proclaimed drop cloth expert. She has made living room curtains and slipcovers from drop cloths. And then she made outdoor curtain panels for her patio. Traci loves drop cloths because they are inexpensive and wear well. Plus they come already hemmed (yes!) and they look very nice. Dave and I think they look really great, too. Which of the two fabrics do you prefer? For the curtain rod(s) Traci hangs her curtains from half inch metal poles - which are her outdoor curtain rods. In total she needed 6 poles. For the two longer poles (7 feet), she bought two 10 foot poles and cut them down.

She spent less than ten dollars total for all the poles. To protect the poles from moisture, Traci painted them with KILZ spray primer. To finish the job, she painted them with a coat of white spray paint. She uses hooks (like shown here) to hold up the curtain rods (poles). The hooks are less than a dollar each. She spray paints them white, too. The hooks are placed to hold up the poles. Think you can do it? Now the curtains are ready to hang. After washing (and ironing) them, Traci hangs them up with ring clips. No sewing involved because the drop cloths are already hemmed. When she needs a little extra shade. Traci can extend the curtains. Or she can pull them back with a tieback - like this! Either way, what a nice way to cozy up your porch. Traci has 5 of these curtains on her patio. The total cost for this project (remember, 5 curtains) was less than $100 - which is a steal. Here's a picture showing the drop cloth curtains that Traci made for her living room.

In addition to this, she has made them for her kitchen and den - plus slipcovers. If you'd rather not tackle making your own curtains, there are so many smart-looking porch curtains you can purchase. They come in many colors and patterns - and from sheer to heavier outdoor curtain fabrics. If you are wondering about mildew...we checked around. Yes, outdoor curtains may mildew. To prevent that, keep your curtains from touching the ground and be sure to "unbunch" them to allow them to dry.

Lori has a wonderful wraparound porch made even nicer with homemade outdoor curtain panels Lori Lawson, a kind friend from our , posted these pictures for us to see. She made her own porch curtains using Traci's instructions above. Take a look and see how she did it... Using the tutorial above, she used the 6x9 ft. drop cloths. She also used 1/2" electrical conduit pipe with conduit connectors, #6 hooks and a conduit elbow for the corner. Lori used the same clips that Traci's tutorial suggested: Mainstays and white spray paint. Lori says: "One little bonus we added are on the ends of the pipes. My husband had to shave them down to fit but it works great! Notice that Lori's curtains have "built-in valances".
