Steps on How to Make Scarf Curtains

You can’t learn how to make scarf curtains and make a good one without following the steps below;

Step #1: Take the Measurement of the Swag that Will go Over the Window

Take any end of the rod and measure the lowest part of the swag. Take this measurement in a zigzag form, going up and over the rod, then return. Continue this process until you get to the opposite rod end.

Step #2: Determine the number of fabrics you will hang down on either side of the window.

Using a measuring tape, get the measurement of the corner of your rod where you will descend the swag.

Step #3: Get your full measure.

You can get the total measurement for your standard 30 x 60 inches window using a hemmed swag panel measurement of 180 x 22 inches. To get a fabric of this measurement, you will purchase two and a half yards of fabrics, cut it equal and sew the two equal half together end to end. This process is to allow enough yardages for the looping.

Step #4:  Find the fabric center.

Measuring perpendicular to the selvage edge, find the center of your fabrics and make a vertical line down from the center using a pin.

Step #5: Using a pin, hang the ends of the fabric over each end of the rod

Pin the swirls and folds you like into place by hanging the ends of the fabric over each end of the rods. You make use of several pins. You will use several pins to secure the fabric because the weight can undo the work. Also, remember to unpin after you have gotten your desired fabric style.

Step #6: Attach the draped scarf.

The easiest way to attach your draped scarf swag to the rod is by tying a knot around the bar. You do this by wrapping the flowing end around the bar. When you obtain the number of turns, you pull through the loop. Avoid creating a hard tug on the part you have just draped.

Step #7: Secure your Swag

You tie a bow to secure your swag for a bit of extra security. You do this by tying and knotting a yard 1-inch satin ribbon and making sure the decorative flourish wraps around the drapery on the rod.
