Steps To Make RV Curtains

Do you want something cool and out of the box?

Have RV curtains so that you will see how creative and imaginative your mind can be at some point.

So, how to make RV curtains?

You will need to follow these steps to make your task easier.

So, stay there and take note!

 

Step #1. Measure the window

The first thing you need to do is to measure your windows for your curtains.

Make sure you do it right.

Among the width, add 1 or 3 inches for an overhang to have a nice effect.

All you need is to add for the hem and the rod pockets on top as for the height.

You may add 6 inches for the hem and 5 inches for the pockets.

 

Step #2. Cut the fabric out (drop cloth)

After measuring and making sure you had the right dimension cut out the fabric.

But before that, make sure that it is flat, or you can iron it to ensure that it is flat and there are no uneven parts later on.

You can use cutters or fabric scissors if you wish.

 

Step #3. Make the side hems

The next thing you need to do is to cut the side hems and iron them too.

And then you can backstitch it for a cleaner line.

Make sure you put an inch or a half to give a good layer on it.

Then you can iron down the fabric creating a crease on it.

It should be bold, and you should press the lines hard for it to look good and not pop any time.

 

Step #4. The top rod pocket

We will not make a usual rod pocket that will look the same as your casual rod pockets in this step.

We will be using a 1 x 2 wood to serve as your rod here.

So make sure the fabric can cover it up.

You can start folding again, just like how you made the side hems, and iron it on the top to create a crease again.

 

Step #5. The bottom rod pocket

This kind is indeed a unique curtain, for it has rods also in the bottom.

You can make the usual way of putting a rod pocket.

Please do the same as how you did the top pocket but smaller since the stick we are using as a rod is cylindrical.

 

Step #6. The straps

You can buy leather straps online depending on your preference.

Now, drill a small hole on it where you can pass a thread.

Fold it about just enough to put closure when you have inserted a D-shaped ring usually used for accessories.

The next thing is to put a d shaped ring with hooks on the other end of the strap.

Make sure both have the same length.

Consider it to lock in the curtain massively and hold it in place when it is opened up.

 

Step #7. Install the rods

Upon installing the top rods, insert the wood piece inside your pocket and place the straps behind it.

Drill the straps and the wood, considering screwing it up to secure the strap’s spot to hold the curtain up.

Do this on both sides, and you are good to go.

Hopping on the next thing to do, you will slide in your cylindrical rod at the bottom pocket.

That will serve as your roll-up once you want to open your window, and you can use the hook to let it stay in place.

It will look so cute, and your RV curtains would look like it has suspenders on.

Your rods will be best when painted in a dark brown color, or use a wood varnish to make it look natural.

Then you can drill your top rod wood on the wall after making all these steps.
