Curtain redo for $0!! DIY solution to ditching curtains with grommets.

The most popular curtains on the market have grommets. (😤) I am not a fan of grommets and if you are like me, you want a more traditional appearance. In this video I will share how I transformed curtains with grommets into tabbed back curtains. This DIY curtain redo is an easy tutorial for anyone to complete.

Wow.. I am so impressed. You did an excellent job... I would have never thought about cutting the tabs and flipping the curtains. Thumbs up..

Glad it was helpful! Thank you!

I was just about to write and tell you that you are a genius, but you lost me at the word “sewing”. You are still a genius! Thanks for posting. ❤❤❤

[@tressatressa]

Omgosh how brilliant. And sooo easy to sew. Getting ready to redecorate my living room and this opens up to endless possibilities. Looking forward to more videos. ❤❤❤

A fabulous way of dealing with the dreaded grommets! Just what I was looking for. Thank you!

A Genius comes in many different forms 🎉🎉🎉

@@kccbtujfo6346 Thanks! I wouldn’t say genius, maybe thrifty 🤔 😂😂

[@shannonsouthwell5186]

👏 I never even thought this. Love it!!

[@tgjj610]

I don’t like grommets either! I found beautiful curtains that I love. I ordered them longer hoping to cut off the grommets and do something different with it. This is genius! Totally doing this! Thank you!

[@WeekendswithWinnie]

I’m glad the solution works for you!!

[@jamilgotcher5456]

Brilliant! I have never liked grommet curtains either lol.

[@viciouslyxdelicious]

Yes I have these black out curtains that are dream but I hate that shower curtain a look thank you for this

[@WeekendswithWinnie]

“Shower Curtain Look” sums up the grommet trend perfectly! Thanks for watching 🤗

[@T_M_13]

Love this idea! I have curtains I love but HAAAAATE the grommets! Going to do this! Thanks for sharing!

[@amylambert4464]

Love this! I dislike grommets too.

[@WeekendswithWinnie]

Lol, I’m glad that I’m not the only one!

[@stvnixrcks]

What a fantastic idea!

[@sunayanaroy3824]

I don't know why it didn't strike me to use the padded fabric between the grommets for the tabs, duh. Thanks for the idea. These work much better than plain unpadded fabric from the excess fabric.

[@WeekendswithWinnie]

I’m glad it’s a useful tip 🤗

[@lisapertzborn2185]

You didn't actually show the finished product. Where's the shot of the full curtain with the gray fabric added?

[@WeekendswithWinnie]

Lisa Pertzborn The curtains are shown in the space mural video. A room tour is coming soon to feature all of the projects.

[@ireneeerickkk]

Super creative!

[@cynthiawillis6701]

You could've achieved a very similar look just by using the cardboard tubes that hold toilet paper. All you have to do is just place them on the rod between grommets. I don't like grommets either but this hack disguises them.

[@WeekendswithWinnie]

So true! I just have a irrational fear of that old paper sitting up there attracting bugs 🥴 ……..🪳🪰🐜 🤢

[@mythicalpuma]

I think I love you. Thanks for this tip!!!

[@samantha9445]

Used to like grommet curtains but now I hate them! Do you have any advice on how to turn grommet curtains into back tab curtains by 1. A no sew method AND 2. Without taking any length off the curtains? I know, I’m asking for the impossible haha! BUT your video has me wondering if there’s a way to fold over the grommet and pin/clip the curtains in such a way that the grommets are inside the fold (unseen on the side facing the room because of the folding and unseen to the side facing outside because the rod is always higher than the window therefore the “ugly side” will face the wall)? Thanks for your inspiration!

[@WeekendswithWinnie]

Yes and no 😬 Yes, a no sew method for adding tabs would be to create the tabs with scrap fabric and use the hem tape in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/imjLnYmPo8elmMU. You can fold the portion of the curtain with grommets and pin it down, but you’ll loose the length 😩. I’ll keep thinking and reply with any new solutions

[@sherrytee2962]

I swear all the modern, funky, interesting fabrics at an affordable range, are with this annoying grommet/eyelet...thank you so much...scared to sew but I'll come back if I get brave!

[@WeekendswithWinnie]

You don’t have to sew!!!! There are no sew alternatives to getting rid of grommets. Check out how easy it is to use fabric tape in this video No Sew Pillow Covers #nosew #nosewpillow kzbin.info/www/bejne/imjLnYmPo8elmMU

This is a nice idea if your curtains need to be shortened. I am not a fan of grommet curtains either. Thank you.

[@WeekendswithWinnie]

Yes, this is a wonderful solution if you can purchase longer curtains

[@doyle5883]

Wow great idea!!!

[@soseconds6591]

Brilliant! ❤

Thanks!

[@shemoremartin3349]

Would cutting the grommets section off shorten the length of the curtains?

[@WeekendswithWinnie]

Yes! I suggest purchasing the next length up or adding fabric to ensure you have the desired length. I’ve done both and the curtains look amazing!

[@yolanda5756]

🤗 📣THANK YOU!!!

[@Lughnerson]

Good job!

[@WeekendswithWinnie]

Thank you!

[@Phjghh]

I thought you would teach how to remove grommet.

[@WeekendswithWinnie]

Oh no, the holes would still be there. Plastic grommets will pop apart & metal grommets are not worth the trouble to remove.

[@theresachiorazzi4571]

Looks better with the grommets it’s a matter of preference I guess

[@WeekendswithWinnie]

Yep! It's a matter of preference 🙂

[@absolute3112]

Amen! Cuz these shyts look super CHEAP!

Why buy curtains with gromets in the first place.

[@WeekendswithWinnie]

So true, but that’s all I could find at Family Dollar. I was trying to follow a budget. 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@linda6131]

@@WeekendswithWinnie ok well you made it work for you with what you had 👍

[@WeekendswithWinnie]

@@linda6131 thanks! I really tried 🤗

[@tgjj610]

I recently purchased curtains that I loved the print and colors but it only came in grommet. I loved the print so much I decided to buy with grommets and cut them off and do something different like rod pocket, but I like this idea better.

[@colag1966]

SERIOUSLY!!! THINK I WILL JUST BUY NEW CURTAINS APARENTLY U HAVE MORE TIME ON UR HANDS THEN I

[@WeekendswithWinnie]

Yes, I have more time. Never buy what you can create 😃
