No Sew Lace Curtains

Adding charm, in the form of lace curtains to your space is easier than you might think! Here’s how I did it to mine!

One of the most common questions I receive from readers is – where did I get the lace curtain panels in my bedroom from?

The answer – I made them!

They are much easier than you probably think, let me show you how to add some French, Victorian, farmhouse flare to standard drape panels.

Curtain Panels
Lace of Crocheted Table Runner
- It is extremely important to find one with a simple repeating pattern and no border, crocheted works best for this project.
- Also, be careful about color and return policies. I ordered one that was cream and planned to bleach it. However, when I tried it, only parts of the runner turned white. It was made with two different types of thread, apparently. In the end, out of desperation, I actually painted the cream to white using cheap acrylic paint from Walmart!! Oh my gosh, it actually worked!

Tutorial

Measure out how much of the table runner you will need.
Carefully clip between the patterns on the table runner and don’t cut straight into any of the more complicated patterns.
- I saved the extra pieces as “snowflakes” for Christmas wrapping embellishments.
Now hot glue the cut table runner to the bottom edge of your panels.
- I hand stitched mine in place, but in hind sight, that was a lot of unnecessary work.
- Let the lace hang down an inch or so off the bottom of the panel for a pretty touch.
