DIY Painted Curtains

I searched high and low for curtains for my master bedroom.  The windows were really high and I wanted to hang them even higher so length was my first problem.  I finally found curtains at IKEA that were 118" long (I hemmed them to my length).  So while on my hunt I ran across another project on Pinterest - DIY PAINTED CURTAINS.  Here's the final result and a few photos along the way. 

Master Bedroom AFTER with Painted Curtains

Master Bedroom BEFORE - windows need some fabric

I purchased IKEA curtains for $20 (for two panels)
and ironed them.  Then I put plastic under them to
protect the floor from any paint that would bleed under
the panels.  Then I taped off the panels.  This will vary depending
on your curtain length and desired number of strips and width of stripes.

Taping off completed and in the process of painting the stripes.
I used left over regular flat wall paint and a small sponge roller.
I needed two coats.

I waited for the paint to dry before removing the
tape because I didn't want to risk getting paint on
the white stripes.  They were a little stiff but I was
able to manipulate them before hanging.
I LOVE THEM!
