After making curtains for Jack’s room, I used painter’s drop cloths for Alex’s windows too. Canvas from Walmart and painted stripes gave me custom curtains for less than $40 when I made the project.
Canvas drop cloths for the window treatment
The canvas cost $9.97 at Walmart and was the size I needed. I used tape to mark the stripes before painting.
Painting between the tape lines
I used a regular paintbrush to fill the stripes within the taped sections. The remaining photos show the painted fabric and curtains in the room.
Rustic bedding and a later room change
I later found a comforter at Belk that suited the more rustic, outdoorsy look I wanted. The curtains stayed through the teen bedroom makeover that followed.
