Ribbon Curtains

When I was killing some time in Pinterest, I came across this picture:

Ribbon curtains, easy enough, right?  I was on it.  The curtains in my living room were boring enough, it was time to jazz them up-on a budget.  So, I went to Joanne's and purchased 5 rolls of white ribbon and stitch witchery that was about the same width as the ribbon. 

Here is my living room with the plain jane blue curtains before this project:



Step 1: Get all supplies: ribbon, curtain, stitch witchery, iron set as directed by the witchery, damp towel, and pins. 
 
Step 2: Lay out curtain flat and pin ribbon onto the curtain in the desired pattern.



Step 3: Iron the ribbon on as directed by the stitch witchery.

Step 4:  Rehang curtians-step back and admire your work.

This curtain project was very easy considering it was no-sew but did take several hours to complete all 4 curtains.  I'm pretty happy with the finished product too, so all round, it is a winner!

Cost break-down:

Curtains: I already had so, $0
Ribbon: 5 spools at $3.99 each ($19.95)
Stitch Witchery: 2 of them at $2.99 each ($5.98)

TOTAL for all 4 curtains to get a make over = about $26 or $6.50 each.  Nice.
