We’re in the middle of a room makeover and not quite ready for the big reveal, but in the meantime I want to share this cheap and easy way to create your own custom window panels.
I saw these on Etsy and loved them, but I couldn’t swing the $115 pricetag.
I decided instead to make my own with $3.00 fabric paint and a $5.00 damask stencil.
I started with this pair of $30 panels from Target:
After ironing the panels, I laid each one out and began working the stencil.
I only wanted to cover the bottom third of each panel.
The first panel took about 2.5 hours, but by the second I’d gotten the hang of it and it only took about 1.75 hours.
Here’s the finished piece!
More to come on this thrifty room makeover!
Love the curtains!
Do I see the bare plywood on the floor? Like someone has pulled up the carpet? Can wait to see the whole room!
Yes Liz! We’re making over the room so there is more to come! It’s a bigger project than we originally planned. (Isn’t that always the case??)
wow! you did a super job! Looks great, i too am redoing my liinvg room in shabby chic, furniture, fabrics, just about everything and now I have a ton to sell on ebay or craigslist. The silk dupioni drapes that were so expensive, got to sell the big, beautiful silk wing back chair has to go, the “book” table that I paid over $700 for has to go,,, oh my God, just give me the knowledge and strength to do it… lol
