DIY PATIO DROP CLOTH CURTAINS

Hey ya'll! I'm sure you have seen this before, but I wanted to share with you, how I put up my DIY drop cloth curtains. I have been wanting to do this for a couple of years now and I finally did it....not without some bumps of course. I mean, do my videos ever go flawlessly? Heck no! So, take my mistakes as a learning experience. I really try to stay on a budget and spend the least amount of money that I can, but sometimes that backfires lol. This result will work for now, but at some point, I will get nicer and sturdier curtain rods so that it extends the entire area. Stay tuned for more patio decor ideas!

Araceli Chan DIY ..I just finished my patio using your technique and it turned out beautiful! Thanks!

[@Radtrad_strada]

Drop cloth! Fantastic idea thank you.

[@a.b.williams5604]

Where did you get the string lights?

[@theflyingstephanie6156]

Hi I made curtains which I love but now they are mildewing 🥴. Have you had issue with that? I’ve tried washing them and it’s not coming out.

[@mrs.b.s.7212]

I really appreciate that you show the mistakes and bumps and not just the wonderful outcome.

[@jltavare]

I've done similar curtains before and used electrical conduit pipe instead of a rod. It's very strong and cheaper. Might work for you for longer runs.

[@verucasalt2391]

This is an amazing idea! I knew there had to be something cheaper for my project. For my tab top curtains throughout the house, I used wooden closet rail and saved a fortune!

[@W3Slots]

Yes yes yes! This is exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you so much for showing folks we can do it ourselves. Money is tight these days, so being self sufficient is GREAT!

[@terriejohnston8801]

1st time passing thru. Always loved canvas dropcloth for a no. of uses. You did an excellent job. A more organic style...lol NOT cookie-cutter, cuteness. Thanks for. posting.

[@waleskanieves6095]

That's one of the things I love from you. That you are sooo real, authentic. You show your mistakes n how you fix them. That makes you real without loosing your magic!😉😘👍

[@jayare95666]

you should do a revisit to this! im sure it will be nice for people to see what we can do being at home. Love it!!

[@gingerlittle6936]

Thank you so much for sharing this! My mom has been wanting privacy screens for her screen porch for a long time. I saw your video and knew this was the perfect solution. We got hers put up yesterday and she loves them. Thank you again!

[@AraceliChanDIY]

How awesome! I’m glad this video helped give you some ideas!

[@jackiesherburn1730]

I love the drop cloth idea!! They make such great durable curtains! Alot cheaper then buying expensive curtains!!

[@trentmeidinger6160]

The end result looks great! Thank you for explaining your process, including what didn't work as planned. This is a helpful video.

[@dtate001]

That’s a great idea. I was not looking forward to seeing curtains for our patio but this is a great alternative! I only need hooks and drop cloth bc my patio has rods built in. Thanks for idea 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@AraceliChanDIY]

You are so welcome!

[@lauravazquez7441]

That looks so cozy! Its perfect for entertaining guests and minimizing the bugs that tend to fly around at night. We done friend! Amazing!

[@-452-]

Im gonna do this for my apartment balcony!! Its 100 degrees here and I only have one of those portable AC’s in my room. This will really help keep the living room cool. Thanks so much!!!🙏🏼😁😁

[@almavillareyna45]

Love the idea!❤ Do they keep water from coming into your porch? If anyone else on here had tried this idea? I have a large porch and im looking for something to keep the water out when its windy and raining and of course gibe shade.

[@sylviajones8068]

I've read that they make terrible outdoor curtains. They are designed to soak up moisture, sooo mildew is coming. I'm going to make some from sun sails! 16' x 16' for $30. I have not researched the fabric, but they are intended to be outside. Same concept as a dropcloth.

[@vondahenry7758]

A beautiful and unique way of hanging the curtains.

[@susanpidgeon9683]

Really looks nice. I don't think anyone will notice the different lengths.

[@adahampton9587]

Nice! I have some left over pvc I'm going to spray paint and use as rods.

[@EriBarr]

I was just thinking of using the same instead of curtain rods

[@mitchscroggins1327]

Mitchalisia Hi. You did great ! I've seen other people making these curtains, & yours turned out excellent ! You should secure them with sturdy tiebacks in case of high winds & storms. The porch looked awesome with the curtains & lights, very cozy ! You know you could even attache window screening behind the curtains if you ever wanted too, the screening is not too expensive & helps keep the mosquito's & moths etc... out. The screening can just be stapled into place. Beautiful project, thanks for sharing ! Milani is growing, she's adorable ! 💖😊🌼🌻🌷🌼 Also you find good quality material shower curtains lots of times on clearance at different stores, when you see them buy a few that match & you can use them same as the drop cloths, they have different sizes/ lengths, so be sure & check for that. You can also make cushion covers & throw pillows out of them for your patio furniture, & it's way less expensive than buying yards of material !

[@nancycodispot7793]

We used drop clothes too but we made curtain rods from pvc pipe it worked great we did have to add like another hook or whatever in the middle just to be sure the rod was strong enough and you can paint the pvc pipe to match your decor

[@esterixis]

Araceli, you might look into galvanized plumbing pipes instead of regular curtain rods. They're a lot sturdier, & practically the same cost as curtain rods. Love this DIY!

[@AraceliChanDIY]

esterixis i was looking for those when I went to Lowe’s and all I saw was plastic pvc!

[@esterixis]

Araceli Chan I'm in metro Phoenix, so may be that yours stocks based on popularity? Mine has plenty, just a few feet down from the PVC. I spray painted mine with oil-rubbed bronze & they look great! Good luck finding the pipe; they've held up well during our high wind monsoon seasons.

[@alandrahubbard7661]

Yes, use the galvanized plumbing pipes. There are sturdier and cheaper. That is we used.

[@jimenaguadalupecvega7084]

I think the best option is copper pipes .because galvanized is to heavy .and copper looks nice .

[@LifeLostSoul]

@@AraceliChanDIY You can also use PVC pipe as curtain rods and just spray paint them for desired color. Metal pipe is ridiculously expensive compared to what people are normally trying to substitute for. It's an option if you want that particular look but not a cheaper option.

[@gerusheemax]

I've been showing your ideas to my husband, he's on board with all your ideas.. so thank you! 😁 we've already started some of the patio decor

[@RiasWorldofIdeas]

This looks so Beautiful and I was just thinking of ideas for my back porch too because I want to block one side where the sun comes in at. This gave me some great ideas!

[@lindsayashton1385]

We always use electrical conduit for curtain rods. They’re super strong & long (at least 8ft I think) & only a few $ plus paint. 👍

[@jackieseale6427]

Thank you SO much for making this video!! I’ve been wanting to add curtains to my pergola for SO LONG, but had no idea what material to get/where to get it from. I’ve actually never even heard of canvas drop cloth before, until your video, but I’m gonna buy some tomorrow! Thank you!!

[@liesandgarbage007]

This looks great! Thank you! Baby is precious too!

[@traceymccoyKC]

I think this looks great. And it’s smart to try it out first with the items you purchased and live with it for awhile...

[@ginak1262]

I really like that. We want to invest in a canopy. We have no shade on our yard. I like the idea of privacy. Good job.

[@andreahedgeman6863]

THE DIY IS BEAUTIFUL, SHE IS ADORABLE.

[@AshleighLaurenCrafts]

Cute! I love the end result. I love curtains hung by the patio makes it feel so cozy! Your baby girl is so precious. ❤️

[@chopwoodcarrywater6761]

Good video. Helped me with my angled ceiling.

[@jeanetteolive8854]

I like the space in between the curtains, it allows for airflow!

[@susanklemmer]

We did the same thing! Let me give a suggestion. Invest in sturdy rods, when curtains get wet, they get heavier. Yours look really nice, love the lights.

[@AraceliChanDIY]

Thank you. Yes, that’s what I intend to do! :)

[@olgaalmonte73]

Beautiful, love it. I had brought patio curtains from Target. If I would had know about those cloth I would have save me some money. Your baby is just too cute. God bless.

[@mariangie1544]

LOVE IT!!!!LOVE IT!!!!fLOVE IT!!!!LOVE IT!!!! I was thinking of doing this in my house. I thought about using pvc tubing or metal tubing but I don’t know how expensive it may be.

[@Print229]

What a cute little baby! Congratulations!!

[@rosauragarciamarcheco9749]

This is exactly what I was looking for ! thanks for sharing

[@AraceliChanDIY]

Glad it was helpful!

[@brendaroberts4938]

Beautiful!! Thank you. I wanted to do this but couldn’t figure how n where to start!! Thanks again!

[@cathyjohnson4273]

I'm using aluminum poles from Menard x 4 for my porch on heavy duty brackets from Amazon. Dyed gray painter cloth with Grommets from Joanns.

[@janetsorianoakaorchidluv8811]

I really like this idea! I've never seen it before. I'm glad you shared it. It looks so romantic plus there's privacy & less mosquitoes. It also gives a calming & relaxing vibe. :)

[@bbjcassteen4714]

I saw another you tube subscriber and she used conduit to make her curtain rods and for the end piece used what she had on hand I think it was hardware for cabinets the knobs. I think conduit looks sharp and the price isn't bad. Its an option if you change your mind. I like the drop cloth idea especially when the heat is intense like it is in the Ca desert.

[@AraceliChanDIY]

bbjcas steen oh I’m definitely changing my mind lol. Just a matter of when! Thanks for the suggestion!

[@murphy1384]

I think it looks really cute.....was thinking abt doing that to my patio....thanks for the help in figuring it out. Mary

[@shelliejohnson9572]

love it! aww milani is so cute and getting so big! love how real you are in front of the camera.

[@sandyallday6469]

Your patio is so pretty. Looks warm and cozy. Love it ❤️

[@kimcwilkins5534]

Good job. Full of the curtain rods go to IKEA and get the metal poles that are for the curtain rods they like five bucks and they're very heavy and sturdy and they will hold the canvas. It really came out pretty

[@buffyannable]

Hi Araceli! I love it! I think it looks great! Thanks for sharing! Have a BEAUTIFUL day!💜

[@justYouJesus1God]

You know the gaps are not bad, you can open them individually, and that baby is adorable, you made me laugh when you made that cry baby face haha

[@IrmaPereira]

Looks beautiful like the way you rearranged the furniture 👍👏👏

[@nancypulice1682]

Oh wow.. love it. Looks so magical, peaceful... I bet your minis love it. And sweet baby girl will be mesmerized with the light👍💜 give your minis some hugs and kisses from there KZbin family

[@tammykobak7988]

I LOVE IT,VERY GOOD IDEA.I WAS TRYN TO THINK OF MAYB DOING MY LAWN FURNITURE PILLOWS WITH THE DROP CLOTH IDEA.SO WHEN I SEEN THIS VIDEO I JUST HAD TO WATCH BUT LOVE IT!!! Beautiful baby! Great job!

[@Elizabethelizab3th]

These are so beautiful and unique thanks for sharing.💗

[@JImm0rr1son]

Awesome idea on the curtains. I would have never thought of that! Your patio looks great btw!

[@jamifleming4173]

You could also go to home improvement store and get PVC pipe (cheep) spray paint and hang with the "c" shaped pipe anchors. If your fabric clips have a hard time staying attached put a little stich in them to keep fabric in place. In culinary school we would use the PVC pipe for rolling out fondant. Great little invention 😉

[@jamifleming4173]

Haha just saw comment below mine. Great minds I guess 🙃😋

[@ChandrajReed]

lol.. I love these i have been looking to find something like this to do to my patio too cute....

[@gemini022]

Love the string lights too

[@ginib3131]

Love the curtains! The best part was being able to see that darling little angel. Beautiful baby 😇

[@kayesmith2518]

I wish my deck was covered. U did a beautiful job

[@caritamccoy3823]

Great job an alternative is to use piping from the home depot it has connectors so you can add length and they are sturdy. I'm not sure but I think it's the piped for the electrical wires. I used it on my overhang and it works perfectly.

[@micheleheinze6539]

I love how that looks, You did a fabulous job on these. Thank you for inspiring me to do this. 😊

[@kianekeo4644]

Great idea! I’m going to do this on my new patio! Thanks

[@Chggy317]

excellent idea. thank you so much for your video. way to come around on your curtain rods. you have a definite presence in your videos. well done.

[@Izzywizzy74]

Must be so lovely to have a garden,....

[@chenellemonae6562]

This is sooo pretty

[@brendaroberts4938]

You did great! Really cute chill spot!

[@teresah4972]

I hope you get to relax in your beautiful space. Love the ambiance! Could you shorten the drop cloth so all the overhang is the same? Just an idea. Everything looks lovely!

[@lonewaya5671]

This actually looks really great!! Nice work

[@ThisCrazyLife]

Girl this turned out sooo amazing!! I love it😍 thanks for sharing ♥️😘

Turned out great Araceli! Even with the gaps, there is enough privacy! I wouldn't have done it any other way. Your baby girl is growing up fast. So adorable!!! TFS, hugs~ Josie :)

[@mommabearlisa4510]

Sorry.... Lol I'm REWATCHING some of your videos. Lol. THIS PROJECT is my 2nd favorite! {faux shiplap wall being #1} xoxo from TEXAS

[@d.vaders1178]

I used galvanized conduit pipes...super sturdy and weather proof so the rods can stay out full time. I just mounted them on big "J" hooks.

[@dianehampton3513]

That's nice, you did a very good job. Your baby is beautiful.

[@s.v.4979]

I love it what a great idea. Thanks you I will totally do that

Looks so pretty! Thank you for the great ideas!

[@boujeeonabudget2450]

Beautiful! You did a great job and ot looks so relaxing and elegant!

[@mickimc2883]

Beautiful!! I LOVE how that turned out!! We have an enclosed back porch, we live in a 1950 bungalow, the porch has those crank out windows, (ugly) and the sun just blasts the porch from early afternoon, until it goes down. I bought cheapie walmart curtains years ago, but I love this and now want to give the porch a makeover!! Maybe invest in some new blinds too, the ones that are hanging out there are about 14 years old. ;O)

[@shearerfamily9360]

You can always add one more hook in he center of the rod to make it more sturdy

[@cynthiapitre919]

Absolutely beautiful

[@biblegirl2980]

I did my drop cloth curtains last year. You should spray the curtain rods with clear Rustoleom Spray to protect against rusting from different weather conditions. I use the galvanized pipes. I love your project with the lights

[@AraceliChanDIY]

Good call! I bought some of those sprays at Dollar Tree a couple months ago!

[@shearerfamily9360]

I’m going to try. I’ll just buy rolls of mesh at the Walmart material section. Mosquitos love me.

[@sarahvera239]

Looks great

[@selenalynch4251]

[@whiskeyandwildflowers9153]

I know this is an old video but I'm looking for all things summer right now to get ready! My suggestion is to use pvc pipe as curtain rods it's a cheap alternative and you get the length you need

[@jimenaguadalupecvega7084]

I think copper pipe it's better.

[@mariliacoelho2942]

That Looks Amazing.... Thanks for Sharing Best Wishes... From SOUTH AFRICA
