Craft: No Sew Curtains

Welcome to the EAD Living blog! We are so excited to have you here. If you are a new visitor, we'd love for you to subscribe to our RSS feed and visit our sister site, EAD Weddings. Thanks for visiting and we hope you come back soon!

I’m back with a project that is so easy, anyone can do it.  Curtain panels made with heat bonded hem tape.  This is a great project because it allows you to use almost any type of fabric you like, and make them as long as you need.  The best part - you don’t need a sewing machine.

To make a hem, you’ll want to fold the fabric over the tape and iron it.  For the bottom hem, I repeated this, so it’s folded over and heat bonded twice, which just gives a stronger hem.  For the top, I only folded it over once.

Since I used a fabric that didn’t have a definite selvedge, it looks like it’s self-finished, I didn’t need to hem the edges.  If you do need to hem the edges, you can repeat this process for the sides.

Now that my panels are finished, all I needed to do was attach curtain ring clips to the top at equal intervals and hang them up!

My total cost for this project, including fabric (I used five and a half yards total, cut in half), hem tape, curtain rod and rings was under $75.00.  And I love my new curtains!
