I recently decided to make another pair of no sew DIY burlap curtains for our foyer. Last week I started emptying out the foyer and making way for spring and summer decor. I loved the the sand colored burlap curtains so much that I made for our family room that I decided to purchase white burlap and embellish with twisted sisal roping.
This past weekend, we removed everything and I began painting the white shingles a light gray color. I removed all the hardware and re-hung rods as close to the ceiling as possible.
These burlap curtains were ridiculously easy and inexpensive to make. Eight dollars a panel to be exact! Be sure to check out our tutorial on how to make these no sew burlap curtains. The tutorial link is at the bottom of the post. These curtains are white burlap with twisted sisal roping as a fun polka dot embellishment that I think coordinates nicely with the stone walls.
I used stitch witchery to fold a 5 inch hem along the top and a 4″ hem along the bottom. I left the sides “as is” because I wanted the fray look. You can hem the sides about 1 inch if you prefer. I used 3.5 yards of fabric per panel. The stitch witchery is perfect for no sew projects and irons on easily.
The twisted sisal roping was a last minute thought. I had some left over sisal roping from our DIY candle holder project so I decided to create circles and glued them randomly on the curtain panels. You can see below, this was a very simple process.
The key to wrapping the sisal and keeping it tight is to wrap it first into a circle and then take your glue gun and glue every inch or two. Be sure to glue the ends so they do not fray. I hot glued these guys to the curtain panels after I hung them. So simple! Here is the DIY candle holder that I shared with you last week.
Here is another shot with the lantern. I made a seat cushion with the remaining fabric from our HGTV pillow and zipper project from a few weeks ago. I love how the pillow fabric and burlap look together.
Here is our family room with the sand colored burlap curtains I made.
No sew DIY burlap curtains are such an easy and inexpensive way to add texture to a room while allowing the natural light to filter through. Do you see our little red DIY planter chair on the other side of the glass? Strategically placed right? {smiling} I am still working on the rest of the space and hope to share the entire makeover soon!
