You don’t have to spend a mint on ready-made, boring curtain rods. Did you realize you can make your own, the way you want, and save money all at the same time? It’s true! Keep reading to see some ways you can make your own curtain rods.
Do you love nature? If you’re here at Pickled Barrel, you probably do. Try using a tree branch to make a curtain rod with naturally rustic style. It really couldn’t be any easier!
A wooden dowel with a ping pong ball attached to each end makes an effective curtain rod. Once you spray paint it with gold, silver or black metallic spray paint, no one will ever know what it really is.
I wouldn’t have thought of this idea myself, but I love how stylishly rustic it is. Attach metal hooks to a weathered board. It makes the perfect way to hang tab top curtains.
Here’s an amazingly simple solution for those of you who can’t {or don’t want to} put holes in the walls. Use Command Hooks {available at Amazon} to hook curtain clips and hold decorative curtain panels on either side of a window.
Use plant hangers to hold and drape a window scarf. It looks so elegant!
Finally, galvanized pipe is a great solution for a rustic home. Find all the pipe and elbows you’ll need for this project at Hardware World.
