DIY Painter tarp curtains…better known as drop cloth. Truly this is the easiest project ever. How cheap too!
Painters tarps make the best curtains.
After I did Jack’s room,
I decided Alex needed some window treatments as well.
 |
Bought the canvas at Walmart for 9.97. This was the perfect size |
 |
|
Taped off the drop cloth for the stripes
Used a traditional paint brush and painted away within the tape lines.

For less than $40.00 I have my own custom made curtains. I am in the market for a new comforter for Alex’s room, I want something a little more rustic outdoor looking.
And here I recently found it, at Belk’s.

You learn so much when you have boys…at least I did…
Love those curtains!!!
Love that pic of your boy and his gun!!!
What a great idea! Love how that looks.
This was such a cool idea. Looks great. We used a tarp like that once and used paint for a banner.
What a great idea! It looks fantastic too!
they look great~!! you did good deb. just right for a boys room.
Well, aren't you just so creative & clever!!! Well, we already knew that; but, seriously, these are great. Who knew painters' cloths were so versatile?
Aren't boys just so delightful!

Great curtains, I just love them and the price was fabulous. Thanks for letting us see:)

Pattie
Great idea! and it matches perfectly in his room 😀
Great job on the curtains. If the manufacturers only knew what we are really using their drop cloths for the price would probably double overnight. You did a really nie job! xxoo Diana
they look wonderful and the picture of Jack is awsome lol when hes 12 to funny:)
I wanted to try the drop cloth curtains. I ended up finding some panels for $5 though. They are canvas so I can probably still try it. HMMMMMMM
You did a very nice job with the curtains, Debbie!
Only you could come up with something so perfect for his room. Great job.
Hi Debbie Dear! Oh, honey, you're amazing! I love what you did to make these curtains! They look wonderful and little Alex is so cute and I think he may have a little of his mommy's sense of humor! 😉
be a sweetie,
Shelia 😉
My 13 year old son was setting by me at the computer when I came to this post. I asked him if he liked this idea….."Yeah, it's pretty RAD"!!!!!
He wants some.
Thanks for the great idea.
Laurie
Too creative! I love the squares, and the curtains just look perfect in that room!
Kelly
Those turned out great Debbie. Great way to personalize your own panels.
My youngest plays the trombone too. He's been playing since middle school. Hope he has fun in Orlando. Hope he didn't hit all that bad weather!
You are amazing… Ok so the son went to Florida… how is mom holding up? I would be a blubbery mess!

I love those curtains…what a great job on them!!! I'm loven the drop cloths too, so many different ways to use them!
Rondell
Fantastic job on that! I like the whole look and you can't beat that cost!
That. Was. Brilliant. I love seeing something I've never seen before or thought of!! I need to remember that for my son's new room we're building!
Love the curtains, perfect for a boys room. Ditto for the comforter.
This is such a great idea – you are GENIUS! thank you for sharing (Check out Design Sponge's Sneak Peek: Heather Chotos…very cool, like yours!)
Great job! I never woulda thunk it.
Love the curtains! How did you think of that? I always wonder what goes on that creative mind of yours. 🙂 Seriously, they look great.
Alex is adorable! I know he's going to have a blast on this trip.
Hope you're having a great weekend!

Love the curtains Debbie! I am always amazed at all the creative ways people use dropcloths. I had to laugh at the pictures of the boys.. I knew exactly what they had. My son is a huge Airsoft player. We have big "wars" on our property all of the time. It's been a fun hobby for him. Thanks for linking up to Inspiration Friday!
Heather
Love it. A blank canvas to paint on. Awesome idea!
How did you attach it? Are there grommets in painters cloth? I haven’t used them in a ton of years so I was trying to look at your pictures to see lol
I used curtain rings with the clips I purchased at Walmart.
Awesome! I didn’t even know there was such a thing. Hubby liked your pic so I might be off to get a drop cloth tomorrow and get to painting 🙂
Love the curtains! Great post and thank you for sharing these great post with us. Thank you
