Today I finished the ribbon curtains for
Savannah's big girl bedroom, and I love the results!
My inspiration was PBteen's Suite Ribbon drapes...
.
..but they were $99 for one 96-inch panel
(way out of my budget)!
My knock-off version cost $18 per panel
and took about four hours to complete:
At Ikea, I bought a pair of basic white Vivan curtains for $10:
To dress up the curtains, I spent about $25 on ribbon,
Heat 'n Bond, and hemming tape:
To get started, I washed and ironed the curtains.
Then, since the panels were 98 inches,
I used hemming tape to shorten the curtains by two inches:
I bought three rolls of turquoise ribbon to coordinate with
Savannah's Seaside Floral bedding and monogram:
Then, I used Heat 'n Bond and an iron
to adhere the ribbon to the curtains:
Voila!
Adding ribbon to basic white curtains was a simple
and cost-effective way to tie in Savannah's color scheme
and bring some sophistication to her big girl bedroom!
