Cheap White Curtains

October 30, 2017

There is just something about repetition that is just straight up soothing! You know what else evokes relaxation? White billowy curtains, so airy, so open.  DO you know what isn’t calming? Dropping lots of moo-lah on said billowy, soothing, relaxing, airy curtains. So here’s how to make some cheap white curtains!

You may have seen this luxurious look on the pages of major designer catalogs, they also come complete with big price tags.  So today  I showing you how I created these cheap white curtains for less. WAY LESS,  try $5 a panel!  You read right, $5 a panel.

 Here is what I did.  I made a trip to every single Walmart in the surrounding area and bought every single twin size FLAT sheet available. Unfortunately, you cannot order these online,  so you will need track them down.

Cheap White Curtains – Curtain Rings With Clips Tip

The great part about these panels is that they are a no-sew option.  I would highly suggest these Curtain Rings with Clips (1″) , they are an unbeatable price.  You will need approximately 9 rings per panel.

Before you start clipping the rings in place I would suggest removing some of the major wrinkles. To make life easy, I sprayed them with a spritzer water bottle and tossed them in a dryer.  It didn’t remove all the wrinkles,  but it removed most of them. We would later use a steamer on them,  but you might want to consider ironing them if you are a perfectionist.

Alright, let’s clip these things!  I spaced these approximately 7.5 inches apart.

Cheap White Curtains – Continous Rod

That’s it! It’s a one and done kind of deal!  Now, if you are loving the continuous curtain rod,  good news it was cheap too!  It is actually several Ikea rods that I used together. In order to do this I just removed the plastic cap on the ends of the rod  and slid into another curtain rod, and repeated as necessary.   Easy Peasy.

cheap white curtains for $5 per panel

On this wall I used two panels per grouping.  I wanted these to be fairly full. So for this full wall we only  spent $50 on all of the curtain panels. That could easily spend more on just one curtain  panel from a designer store! Boo-yah.

The Kitchen is just as good, if not better.  Check it out here:

    I have a question, what is the length of these sheet curtains? We live in a very old farmhouse with tall ceilings and tall windows. I’ve been wanting to get white curtains for our bedroom which has four windows, but sleep is usually an issue.

      Flat Sheet Sizes:
      Twin 66 x 96″
      Full 81 x 96″
      Queen 90 x 102″
      King 108 x 102″
      I went with a Queen size for more length. I have a 9 foot ceiling.

    I LOVE this! I’ve been keeping an eye out for long, billowy, crisp white curtains for two years. I need at least ten panels and could never bring myself to spend $50-$80/panel on the ones I found. Trying your idea this weekend! So creative and it looks amazing.

    Which curtain rods did you use from IKEA? I purchased the rings you recommended but they do not fit the rod set I bought. You didn’t mention it in your article and I had to guess–which was apparently wrong.

    Also, I purchased queen sized, flat sheets for the extra length needed for my ceiling height. I will keep my fingers crossed that mine turns out as good as yours.

Meet Corey

Hi everyone, my name is Corey, and I have a problem. I can’t leave well enough alone… The best therapy usually involves a variety of power tools. So, in the few “spare” moments I am not entertaining my two beautiful, rambunctious, boys, I can typically be found hunched over a sewing machine and/or covered in sawdust. All in the efforts to create a perfect balance of aesthetics and practicality in our home.

My organizing heart could just burst!! I’m still My organizing heart could just burst!! I’m still organizing the kitchen, but so far I have fit all the contents from the existing pantry AND freed up an entire lower and upper cabinet that contained pantry items.  #winning
Would you believe me if I told you that where this Would you believe me if I told you that where this beautiful custom-built pantry sits, used to be a small builder grade closet? Talk about untapped potential!? While the closet/pantry served its purpose, the space was not well utilized and was altogether unremarkable. With the help of The Home Depot this pantry is not only extremely functional it is a gorgeous feature in my kitchen. 
Sometimes we might look past or forget the untapped potential and resources. 
For example, did you know The Home Depot has a TON of resources to help you with your projects?  Did you know that you can do image search in their mobile app? Yup! Just take a picture of the needed item scan it on your app and find the product in a flash! In fact you  can add it right to your cart and have it ready to be picked up at available stores or lockers!

(Swipe to see the before.)
I decided that our little closet/pantry needed a little bit of help. I have big plans for a huge custom build, but first some walls needed to come down! 
A project of this size means a hefty supply run. Normally, I need my husband to make a trip to 
The Home Depot to help me load ¾” plywood. Not anymore! Did you know that many Home 
Depot stores offer curbside pickup? That means I can order my BIG (and small) orders online 
or in their app and have my order pulled, and ready for a curbside pickup.
