DIY- Crushed Velvet Curtains...

So, this isn't a very complicated DIY- but it can potentially save a gal some money. A set of these bad boys will run you $140. When I figure in the 50% off coupon that I got online from JoAnn Fabrics, my two curtains cost around $7.50. I consider this a win.

So, instead of tromping down to Urban Outfitters like everybody else, I would suggest that you have the kind lady at JoAnn cut the combined length of your two curtains plus 6 extra inches. When you get home, lay the fabric out on the floor and fold it in half. Make the cut. The good news is that this is a knit fabric, so you don't have to worry about any pesky hems.

Once your machine is threaded, lay the material right side down on the floor. Fold 3 inches of fabric over and pin it. Sew a straight stitch 5/8" from the raw edge creating a tunnel at the top of the panel.

Next, hang it in your luvly little room. Repeat... and voila! Easy, cozy curtains in a snap:)
