How to Create Kid’s Bathroom Curtains Easily
There are many different choices on the market when it comes to kid’s bathroom curtains. You can find those that display certain cartoon and
movie characters, themes, colors, as well as shapes. However, there are many cases in which your child is a bit more unique and wants something
different than the standard products offered in stores for their bathroom. Just as adults enjoy personalizing their space by working in pieces of
their personalities, and interests, children enjoy this as well. This is true even when it comes to bathroom curtains. In this case, it may be
necessary to create these products. Here, I will provide details on how to create kid’s bathroom curtains easily.
1. The first thing that you should consider when it comes to creating bathroom curtains is what your level of expertise is when it comes
to sewing. Many individuals are comfortable sewing this type of product by hand, while others prefer to use a sewing machine. Then, there are
some people who are not comfortable sewing by hand, or by machine. While creating curtains may seem like a task that cannot be completed if this
is the case, it is still very possible. You can purchase a product called “Liquid Sew”. For the sake of this tutorial, we will focus on using
Liquid Sew as not everyone reading this will know how to sew.
2. Now, you will want to take your child to the local fabric store and allow them to select the material that they want to use in their
bathroom. You should encourage your child to select fabric that will be matched to a particular theme that will be used in the bathroom. For
example, if your son selects pirate decorated material, you will want to ensure that the theme of the bathroom is pirates. If your daughter
selects a Barbie material, the theme of the bathroom should be Barbie. You should allow a couple of hours for this task. In many cases, the
selection is overwhelming and it may take your child some time to decide on the most appropriate material.
3. Now, once the material is selected, you should have a little bit extra cut to ensure that you have plenty available. Before even
visiting the store, you should have measured the bathroom window that you will be creating curtains for. I personally suggest getting twice as
much than is necessary. This way, if an accident does occur, you will have plenty to start over with. If an accident does not occur, you can take
the extra material and create many unique items for the kid’s bathroom.
4. Once you have had the material cut at the fabric store, you should purchase a good pair of cutting scissors, a tape measure for
reinforcements, and some Liquid Sew.
5. When you get home, you need to measure out the material to the window. There is a saying “Measure twice, so you only cut once”. It is
important to adhere to this when it comes to creating bathroom curtains.
6. Now, take what will be the top part of the curtains where the curtain rod will fit in and fold it over. You can use straight pins to
ensure that it is kept straight.
7. Once you have completed this task, take the Liquid Sew and apply a then layer in order to create stability in the fold where the
curtain rod will be placed. You will want to allow up to four hours or more for the Liquid Sew to dry.
8. You may elect to fold up the bottoms of the curtains in the same manner, and place Liquid Sew on them.
9. While you are waiting on the actual curtains to dry, you can take some scrap material and create some nice little tie backs for the
curtains.
10. Once the curtains are dry, put in your curtain rods and hang!
These are the steps necessary to create kid’s bathroom curtains easily! Pretty simple, right?
