Stenciled Drop Cloth Curtains

Using drop cloth curtains is nothing new to the blog world (I'm afraid there isn't much new to the blog world anymore!) but I'm still really into them.

Not only are they cheap, but they are thick and durable too!  I went to Home Depot a while back and found them 2 for $10 which made for a whopping $5 a panel (try to find another curtain for that!)

They look great pinned up there, but I got a little bored with them as they were so I did a little fixing up.  Here is what I came up with...

I used a stencil I found at Hobby Lobby, Anita's Acrylic Craft Paint in Nautical Blue (59 cents a bottle and you will need about a bottle a row), a sea sponge, and some spray adhesive.

I patiently went row after row, lining them up by eye.  Since they will be wrinkly hanging up anyway, I figured it wouldn't matter if they weren't perfect.

As for hanging them, you can use these curtain clips from IKEA.  They are only $2.99!

This project is not for the faint of heart.  It took me about 2 hours per panel to complete. And by the end, I looked like Smurfette. But they are BEAUTIFUL! 

Maybe now I'll be brave enough to try a whole wall!  What do you think?
