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!
