Back to Decorating with Drop Cloths

Embellished Indoor Curtain

Tran Tuan

Since they are essentially classic cotton duck fabric, drop cloths are just as appropriate for use as interior curtains. The casual vibe allows you to be loose with  details -no need to hem if you just use the drop cloth's finished edge. Use upholstery webbing for a casual French look or wide ribbon to band the edges. Attach with hot glue and add evenly spaced clip-on rings to the top. Hang your gorgeous window treatments!
