DIY Curtains & Pelmet Boxes

I had seen this DIY Project on some of my favorite blogs..

Particularly the Little Green Notebook.

She has a great Pelmet Box Tutorial.

I wasn't even going to attempt one because hers is so great.

Click on over and check it out if you want to make one yourself!

--I used 1 Pack of Ikea Curtains..

(2 pack..cutting each down the middle per window and

using the leftover length for the pelmet boxes)

I don't think they sell this style anymore..at least not online.

But I think I got it for either $19.99 or $24.99 for the 2 panels.

They have some great options! 

--Foam Boards I got at Michael's for $1.99 each. (needed 3)

--I used some batting material I had leftover from another project..

and then grabbed up some extra at Joann's.

--Used Wall hangers attached to the foamboard/fabric

with super glue and then hung up on nails.

The Curtains and Pelmet Boxes came together pretty easy..

and I love the way they look in the room! 

I think if I could do over..I would make my boxes a little taller..

and extend my curtain rod hidden inside the box so they fill it up more.

(I already have the fabric/foam board for another

pelmet box for above the kitchen sink! hehe.)
