DIY RAG CURTAINS | Upcycle Your Fabric Scraps: DIY Easy Rag Curtains

[@motomom99]

I know this is a older video but I have a few tips that that I hope can help! Thus project can be completely free & extremely cute by cutting a tree branch of your choice for the curtain rods and the fabric can come from old sheets, old skirt, shirts, pants, etc. If I like colors or print of a shirt, sheet, or anything, but I dont wear or use anymore, I save it in a bag, for projects just like this! So you wont need to buy a thing for this project! Reuse & renew! 💗

Also I'd like to do them every window everywhere I can. I'm 55 now when I was young I cleaned house for this woman and she had little versions of this she had her whole house done up diy craft stuff it was so cute and I'm poor so I've got to decorate my own stuff thanks again.

[@ladytinter-AlleyKat]

Poor is irrelevant. Your creativity is what counts . Follow your dream. Lots of tips in here to do this on a zero budget just by spending a few hours gathering, cutting and tying. You can do this!

A friend of mine did a curtain like this using old scarves. She used a long chiffon shawl as a Swag type valance. Cute idea with material!!

[@LaciJaneDIY]

oldladytoofast very cool idea!!

[@seariakett6929]

I'm Romany and I grew up with these sort of privacy and window curtains. I really love seeing some of my culture going mainstream!

Sorry hit the wrong button meant to like

[@truthbespoken333]

We used to do this back in the 70's! Good to see it coming back, what goes around, comes around! 😵‍💫🤷‍♀♻

[@LisaHouserman]

Fantastic and NO sewing to boot! Thanks a mil. I have a lot of material lounging around so I should be able to pull this off without any purchases at all.

[@empathy369]

So cool! I also found these on etsy! Gonna make! Thanks so much! Awesome job!!!♡♡♡

[@Jme_eighty3]

Also you could cut a slit into thd end of the two pieces and then use the same knot through the hole. If that makes any sense

[@teristanaford1575]

That’s what I was thinking too. A little more permanent that way

[@taymakenzie]

Can you explain this more? I'm intrigued but don't quite understand lol

[@celestesmith1761]

​@@taymakenzieI was going to say the same thing. You can look up no sew rag rug for a visual. Most of them use this technique. At the end of the fabric, fold over like a half an inch and take a pair of scissors and make a tiny slit. When you unfold there should be a hole. Do this on both ends to all the pieces of fabric. Take one end and the end of another, line up the hole and pull one end up through like a sort of slipknot. Like I said there are loads of videos for visuals. Hope that helped rather than confused you more

[@lacyhill89]

Love how easy these are! We just bought an old travel trailer and I’m going to make these for the windows. ❤️

[@potapus69]

How do you wash them when they get dusty

[@Snippet-1]

I love the idea of using a tree branch as a curtain rod. Add fairy lights. Make it kind of fairy themed for a little girl or even an adult, too. :) I did this but was drawn to staying within a color scheme. The first one was all whites, off white, bright weight, cream colored. I love how you tied them and showed how to make loops. Adding charms is a great idea as well-that has the added benefit of adding a little weight to a room divider

[@karrieridenour3019]

Love this and am doing this now with my new gypsy camper

[@LaciJaneDIY]

Omg that is my dream (and goal) to completely revamp a camper!!! You go girl

[@Soltice-ty2nf]

My project for today after 13 hr of work. Yup, my gypsy curtains

[@brandywinelewis]

This is so cute! I love boho style interior stuff like this, I wish I had this many old shirts and what to actually make it 😂 Thanks for the great idea ❤

[@LaciJaneDIY]

[@maryannekline1918]

Ohhhh I'm so excited about these I've been drooling over them since I seen them on Pinterest. I have no patience I don't have any scrap material so it down in my basement and I got a laundry basket full of Summer pretty nice shirts and stuff like that to cut in strips like do you think that would work okay I guess and I want to start collecting scarves to but I got a lot more shirts and dresses up here but I won't wear any of them so so so so so so do you think cutting just things like that up would look okay or should I start saving up scrap material I guess I'll probably try it anyway I am a Stevie Nicks Pink Floyd 70s hippie and I just love love love this thank you so much for sharing chicky did you do anything color wise or did you just grab and go lol. Thanks! Happy New Year

[@celestesmith1761]

I am in the process of making a pair for my sliding glass doors. Any ideas on how to keep them from tangling up

[@kasseyphemister6997]

I have been trying to find a tutorial for this. THANKS! I have a corner i call "the craft/crap corner" I try to label everything and keep it somewhat organized, what better way to hide it? With a craft, of course! Thumbed up and subscribed!

[@tifffany24]

Those are beautiful.

[@MyWhitelye]

Kudos to Grandma!

[@desireerens1819]

I m using about 50 old scarves and upcycling them to make a room Divider.

[@marianavarro1983]

Absolutely love this video found the perfect product to do with my kids thank you 😊

[@LaciJaneDIY]

Thank you, enjoy!

[@gaylahensley7431]

Did you cut the fabric strips or tear them

[@msRamette]

Thank you for the inspiration. What an awesome idea. Trying this.

[@TheXxjackchopxX]

How many yards of fabric approximately is this?

[@66clbell]

Making these for my Runaway camper out of used Sari's. Beautiful.

[@SisterhoodoftheTravelingBrush]

cute project!

[@barbra429]

Can someone please please explain how you would join two pieces together to make the curtain longer and I like the little ties that stick out.

[@celestesmith1761]

[@mizthang5740]

How does it not fall off when u attatch fabric piece to another?,,,

[@barbra429]

Does anyone know how to make these to where it looks like there's a balance of the red curtains plus the curtains I've seen it on Pinterest but I can't figure out how they have the shorter ones at the top all the same size looking like a balance and then they have the long ones coming down.

[@devinlacourse]

Thanks for the tutorial Lacie! Just to let ya know in case you don't already, you're tying a Larks head know around the dowl. 😉

[@LaciJaneDIY]

Thank you!

[@sallycaroline7003]

Perfect! I want to make these.

[@libbyvalero7993]

whats the song called

[@myfrugalraggylife7104]

I really like that but I have to say I find it amazing that you have to show people how to tie two pieces of fabric together ?

[@LaciJaneDIY]

That's part of the tutorial, that's how you make them into curtains.

[@didididene8771]

very nice idea

[@maryannekline1918]

Ok so lmbo I spent bout 7 hours doin a small window facing west I had to make mine much thicker I really did not have a plan I just wanted to do it when I was so excited to do it I was happy about it now I'm looking at them like well there's so many different ways you could decorate like that I'm definitely going to start buying bandanas and hoarding them I like the way it looks long but yeah I was just to Scaris had to loop pieces from the top all the way to the bottom down the Strand you know ingot to put some more in on it 2 can't see the spaces in it till daylight I stay up all night bipolar no filter on the mouth LOL I was telling my girlfriend I want to do the whole house LOL my brains always going out thinking about how different you have to do them any turn it's really me thanks again for sharing sweetie God bless ya FPS was kind of curious what else you're into craft wise you know

[@mistyscott3277]

This is amazing definitely trying this 😊💯

[@mallymakings2853]

This is amazing! What a wonderful idea. I’m thinking this would be great as a headboard and maybe lay some fairy lights over it. Thank You, Sweetheart. Another great video and you’re looking gorgeous, as always.xxx

[@LaciJaneDIY]

Laura Filby you are the sweetest! 💕 that is a wonderful idea. Please share a pic with me if you do it!

Where do you get your fabric?

[@LaciJaneDIY]

In the video I said I got it from my grandma

[@scarletthydi3120]

This is so cool!! I was curious about what the song in the beginning was? :0

[@elizabethrosado4602]

That's so amazing I love it

[@claraclown8036]

Been wanting to make these thank u 😁

[@barbra429]

How do you wash them since there's so many strings

[@LaciJaneDIY]

I Hand wash them 🦋

[@barbra429]

@@LaciJaneDIY and how do you dry them down the strings get wrinkled if you squeeze them dry with your hands and then how do you dry them

[@LaciJaneDIY]

Barbra squeeze them and Hang them to dry outside. If the wrinkles bother you, try using a steamer or iron 💖

[@barbra429]

@@LaciJaneDIY I guess what I'm wondering is do you take each individual string off from the top when you wash them because they have a rod hanging on them Do you take the rod out of the lubes and loosen the strings I don't get it

[@LaciJaneDIY]

Barbra I mean you could, but I’d just leave them on the rod and wash them that way.

[@Familyof5_]

I love hippy stuff

[@Sweetsweetraven]

I’m in the midst of doing this! Seems like tearing the fabric is the most time consuming part. I am using clothes and sheets so maybe that makes a slight difference. Could you tell me how long this took you to tear fabric and to get the knots tied?
