Window treatments can be a real pain in the rear. Really. Not to mention expensive. Here is a budget friendly way to get those windows covered. Go to your local home improvement store ( I got mine from Home Depot) and get some drop cloths from the paint department. They sell a range of sizes. I think I bought the longest length one for around $10 each. That's a bargain!!! The fabric resembles that of hemp material. All the edges are finished for you, so no sewing is required. You can see in one of my pictures that I just folded over the excess at the top to make a ruffle. Now, they are great as is, but if you are feeling froggy then by all means jump for it.
These I just taped off with painters tape and painted stripes with paint I already had in the basement, using a roller. It does take a little time, but it's super easy! Total window treatment- $20. You can't beat that and it sure looks better than those sliding door blinds- yuck.
I did these for the bedroom. I used a stencil and painted the design from the window sill down. Again, a customized look for super cheap!
I hope you will give these a try! They are worth it, promise!
Take that chance!
