  • Hey Guys!
    I really hope you guys like this week's video. I know it's not exactly a true diy video; but I just wanted to share my findings. I personally would have loved to watch this kind of video when I was younger. It would have helped a lot. Haha.
    I do hope that at least one person gets use out of it, because honestly I don't think it's a popular thing to put sheets up as curtains, and actually have them look nice! ;)
    As always I hope you all have the best weeks ever and I'll see you in the next video.
    Laters!
    Breaha

    When the dog low key steals the show 💕

  • @livingauthenticallyonmyownterm

    You're furbaby is so PRECIOUS staring at the camera at the beginning wondering what the heck you're doing AND having him dancing at the window behind the curtain is hilarious !!! 🤣🤣🤣. Great video girl. I'll be giggling all evening. Thanks 😜🤗😆

    Perfect! Like you I'm poor and need more privacy. I like the look n texture of the IKEA. So I got both n used the sheets to line the IKEA. With clip rings to hold them together and create pleates. They look SO high-end I can't believe it! Thank you thank you! 😗😗😗

    I'm not the only person who uses WM sheets as curtains?!? I've done this on about three homes and it's so affordable and looks so good!

    Hi there! I'm a new subscriber, and just stumbled upon your channel this morning! First off, you're videos are fun to watch, and informative! I've been looking for a cheaper alternative to curtains, and this idea is very helpful! I think curtains are stupid expensive, and usually not worth the money they want for them! Another idea is to use pretty tablecloths for curtains, and hang them just as you did with the rings. We bought a house a year ago, and I love to repurpose things, DIY, and decorate on the cheap (but looks expensive), haha! Thanks!

    *sigh* Wish I had seen this video before now. I had a hard time finding the right curtains for my living room after repainting it. Great idea. I too like to have curtains that are less sheer. Thanks for the idea for future DIY's.

  • @linbron2018
    @linbron2018 Před 6 lety +3

    IKEA does have the thicker white curtains, lot of privacy . 2 panel for 20.00 yes 96 long x 56 wide. Had to get it alter 30.00 for 4 panels .
    It’s the best in quality and price. I forgot the name of the curtain.

  • @dawngranquist8250
    @dawngranquist8250 Před 6 lety

    I had several white flat sheets, purchased from thrift stores, and I used them as curtains. If people looked closely, they’d see that I literally tore them in half, as well as to the length I wanted. No sewing involved! Lol! Until I recently decided to make them into tab top curtains. Then I did use left over sheet fabric to make tabs for the tops of them. Btw, I used sheets and made all curtains this way for my entire house.

  • @MeteoricMarlin
    @MeteoricMarlin Před 3 lety

    i was considering using drop cloths but then i'd have to bleach them to be white which is too much of a hassle for me right now. Plus it wouldn't be that much cheaper than actual curtains. While I think the drop cloth fabric will look better i really can't say no to a cheap flat sheet for that price. Great video. Thanks!

      +Julie Keenum Hi Julie! I just used these cafe clips to hang them up. You simply pinch open the clip and attach them to the sheet. m.bedbathandbeyond.com/m/product/springs-window-fashions-nickel-finish-cafe-clip-rings-set-of-14/1016470384
