Well, this was super easy! I'm not sure who was the first one in blog land to come up with this, but it's brilliant! Was it Layla? I only started reading diy blogs last summer...so I'm not sure?
Old news for many of you, but it's still a great idea!
At Home Depot they had a "bonus pack" of 2, 6x9 ft. drop cloths for 10.00! What a steal!
After washing them, they were perfect and soft with the exact color I wanted for my son's room.
They sort of look like PB's room I'm trying to mimic, right? How do they get everything to look so pristine in their pictures!? I wanted to try the grommets but that's too much work for me right now, and as I read around they sound difficult to put in.
Instead, I picked up a (kind of cheap) rod from Target and the clippy things to hang the fabric. Very easy! I think I may need a few more to make the fabric hang a little better.
I also found a deal on bedding at Target today. I'll post on that next. I thought for sure if I "made it myself" I would save tons of money...that's not always true. I have to be careful to add the cost of materials before I plunge into making something!

Fabulous! I'm going to have to hit up the nearest Lowe's or Home Depot.
I didn't know HD had those so cheap!! I got some at Lowes, and I paid about that for a single piece... Gotta love Home Depot!!
This room is really looking great!
Home Depot is going to wonder why the spark in sales on the drop cloths all of a sudden. You should email them a link so you get some credit for the idea.
I love your idea. I want to do this for my front porch to help eliminate the sun in the afternoons. Is your rod 84" or did you buy a bigger one? I like the finish on your rod too! You did a wonderful job. I bought two 9x12 painter cloths to try and make a sofa slipcover. These things are awesome.

DCD are a standard in my home now. I'm thinking of hanging some on my back screened in porch. Your son's room is looking great!
Wow! 2 for $10! That's awesome! And I think I need to stroll through Target. My little guy needs bedding, too.
I found your blog via googling how to whitewash terracotta pots and I love all your creativity! :) I'm wondering if I can find white drop cloths similar to those. Great deal!

I am thrilled to read about this! I have been looking at my bare bedroom windows wondering what to do for curtains. I'm off to Home Depot and Target tomorrow! THANKS!
I'm tellin' ya, I really dig this idea. I'm a fan of those drop cloths. I've used them for so many things, even as a drop cloth :)
