Curtains For Fall

Autumn Curtains

Creating Autumn curtains is easy and these autumn leaf curtains require NO SEWING!!! Which makes it even easier. 

Autumn is the time to bring the outside colors inside, and one of the most famous aspects of the season is the colorful leaves. By using already curtains already owned (or buying new plain colored curtains), two or three fall colored fabrics, scissors, leaf stencils, and fabric glue, drapes can easily be transformed to match the season.

Autumn Leaves Curtains

There are a few ways to do this, here is the first. 

Materials:

  • Yellow, Orange, Brown, or Sky Blue Drapes 
  • 2 different colored fabrics, preferrably cotton and in a fall color (not the same color as the drapes)
  • Fall Leaf Stencils or Cookie Cutters
  • Black Pen or a Sharpie
  • Fabric Glue
Directions:
 
  1. Lay one of the fabrics being used for the leaves on a flat surface (if using a good table, put something such as cardboard between it and the curtain).
  2. Using leaf stencils or cookie cutters to trace out patterns on the fabric with the sharpie. Cut the leaves out and repeat using the second fabric.
  3.  Lay the curtains on a flat hard surface.
  4. Place the leaves on the curtain in desired areas, lay with the sharpie side down (if any ink is showing).
  5. Lift each leaf and put fabric glue on the bottom, press gently onto the curtain. Once all the leaves are placed, do not move the drape and let it dry over night. 
  6.  Hang in desired spot the next day and enjoy.
