DIY Curtain Rod

Today I am showing you an easy DIY curtain rod that I made for my office. I kept it natural since it went with my DIY wall pegboard but feel free to paint or stain it. Guess what? I made this all out of scrap wood so I spend $0. Score! One step closer to finishing my office and giving you a 2018 Office Tour! If you would like an Office Tour, make sure to give this video a thumbs up! See you Sunday for another #DIY, stay rad you beautiful humans xx.

[@sydneymarie9893]

This is amazing i love the wood instead of a normal curtain rod I want to do this to my room now thank you for your rad ideas

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you for taking the time to show some love - you just made my night! Can't wait to see how it comes out.

[@sydneymarie9893]

Living to DIY with Rachel Metz Aww I'm gald I could make your night too 😊

[@TeamGravey]

This is a nice and easy to do rod! Im going to give this a try 😁

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Yay! That makes me happy.

[@riddhibora7036]

The rod does not get locked in place - would it not all topple down once you move the curtains?

[@Joannacsays]

Thanks for another helpful DIY video! I look forward to your videos and see what you create!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you so much Joanna! I appreciate the love.

[@---Jaime-MEXICO-1962]

Your voice is lovely 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@madinca5339]

I ❤️ this idea! Can’t wait to try it 😊Thank you for sharing.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thanks for watching!

[@malleriemakesmusic]

To what degree would you say having these diy skills has saved you money overall? I love watching your videos and I want to do lots of projects for my own home but I'm scared of how big an investment it is (I don't own a single tool haha) and whether I'll just end up letting the tools collect dust if I get them

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

To be honest I started with a glue gun and only the latter half of 2017 picked up a power tool. It's all about working your way in where you feel comfortable. I would choose a project that you know you'll do and actually use then go from there with the materials. Whether that entails a power tool or not!

[@ahhh4117]

You can usually rent tools from local or chain hardware stores if thats a concern. Or maybe borrow one from a handy friend

[@smithmichelle2046]

Looks quite lovely!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you!

[@sarahcinderellabeth]

It looks really good!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you so much Sarah!

[@user-yp1dc5qr2n]

Thats crazy there was a stud on the side of the window. Good thing you had a stud finder.

[@Nothandlecraziness]

Just discovered your channel yesterday. I love Your videos so much. ❤️❤️

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Wow thank you Kate! Means the world to me.

[@Benmeglei1]

It was about 4-5 years ago when one knuckle head started doing that grab the camera lens to change frames spiel and everyone frickin copied. So lame. Curtain brackets on the other hand…dope.

[@Paandaabeeaarr]

That looks awesome, really creative. It looks so nice 😝❤

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you Amanda!

[@Andrew-ih2gz]

My cats would totally have it yanked out if the rod is left unsecured... I might try using a forstner bit to drill half way into the 2x4, and cut the rod to length, instead.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Great feedback!

[@angelaortiz3406]

That is beautiful good work girlI love it

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you Angela! Hope your week is going well.

[@smithmichelle2046]

how long are those dowels? the longest I found was 2.5 feet. Thanks!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

You can cut them down by the foot at Home Depot!

[@manp1039]

did you say the wood dowels were free too? where did you get those?

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

I mentioned I got them from Home Depot - pick them up at your local hardware store .

[@rachellittlejohn2411]

Awesome tutorial 👍👍👍

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Quick and easy!

[@gslite1705]

Can this concept be used for a free standing room divider?

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Yes but please secure it properly since that may have more traction than my curtains.

[@boga-md4gy]

Looks good!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you Ruben!

[@emilydao_]

[@waitersluvhjy66]

[@mrb4408]

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Sorry you feel that way! Hope you find a project you can hold your negativity back on and only spread love to not kill someone working on their dreams and learning a new skill. God bless xx.

[@quitplayin7780]

Mila kunis is that you?

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Well that's sweet unless you think she's ugly then that's not so sweet haha.

[@Warrenackerman5]

complete bodge job

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Well probably as it was when I first started my channel years ago and the whole point of this channel is to show the progression so humans aren't intimidated to just try it and hopefully do it better than me. Are you big spoon or little spoon?
