You read right! I've lived in this house for a year and I've been waiting for these curtains rods to go on sale and use a coupon to get them even cheaper but I keep missing it. "see them here" at JCP. I googled around the web and got the idea to make them from PVC PIPE! I was like why didn't I think of that?
What you'll need:
PVC Pipe (my window measured 120" or 10' so I went with the 10' pvc)
Spray Paint for Plastics2 PVC end caps
Wall Mount Brackets (I got them on CLEARANCE @ Home Depot-SWEET!)
Finials (on clearance too!)
The pole is easy...I sprayed on 3-4 coats. Let it try til it's no longer tacky to the touch.
I didn't have to spray the finials in this case they matched. I sprayed the end caps
Rather than hot glue finials to the pipe, I opted for a less permanent fix. I drilled a hole in the top of pvc pipe end cap.
Then simply screwed the finial onto the cap.
Attach the finial/cap to the end to the pipe,
hang your curtain rod using the curtain rod brackets and....
BAM! You got yourself a beautiful, cheap, nobody can tell the difference curtain rod!
This took maybe 2 hours only because of drying time.
Now I gotta buy some shears OR make some! :0)
TFL!~Happy Crafting!
