How to Make a Café Curtain Out of Tea Towels

 

Materials Needed:  Tea towels, curtain rod, curtain rings with clips or hooks, measuring tape, iron, and optionally a sewing machine.

 

Measure the Window:  Measure the width and length of your window. This determines the number of tea towels needed.

 

Select Tea Towels:  Choose tea towels that match your décor. Ensure they are uniform in size and material.

 

Prepare Towels:  Wash and iron the tea towels to remove wrinkles and pre-shrink them.

 

Hemming:  If the towels are too long, fold the bottom edge to the desired length, iron, and sew a straight stitch to create a hem.

 

Arrange Towels:  Lay out the towels in the desired order. Ensure patterns align well.

 

Attach Rings:  Clip or sew curtain rings evenly across the top edge of each towel.

 

Install Rod:  Securely install the curtain rod above the window.
