DIY No-Sew Scalloped Curtains To Bring A Touch Of Luxury To Your Room

Making your living space more luxurious doesn't have to be expensive. To add a bit of glamor to any room in your home, consider crafting your own affordable scalloped curtains. You can do this using any curtains you already own, so there is no need to go out and purchase tons of expensive supplies. To complete this project, you'll need fabric in a color and design of your choice, a marker, scissors, a scalloped pattern, iron-on hem tape, and an iron. After cutting out your scallop trim, all you need to do is attach it to your existing curtains using the hem tape.

You do not need any special sewing skills to create the scalloped trim, so this hack is super beginner friendly. It's also a much more affordable alternative to purchasing brand new scalloped curtains to hang in your home. If you have ever browsed for these online or in your favorite home decor store, you may have noticed that they can get rather pricey. For example, Pottery Barn's Scallop Trimmed Light-Filtering Curtain is listed on their website for $99. The few materials you will need to purchase to complete this DIY are much more affordable

To create your scalloped curtains, start out by placing your printed and cut design onto your fabric, and tracing it using a marker. As you can see in the video above, you will need to pull the design up to trace the outline along the entire length of the fabric. Once complete, simply use your fabric scissors to cut your scalloped trim to shape. Finally, apply your scalloped trim to your curtains using your iron-on hem tape as shown in the video. Now, you are ready to use your new scalloped curtains to enhance the visual appeal of your home.

Consider taking this DIY to the next level by dressing your curtains up even more. One of the most popular ways to decorate using curtains is by incorporating tie backs. This simple detail will make your space look super luxurious. There are quite a few affordably priced options for this curtain styling hack available on Amazon. The NICEEC 2 Pack Strong Magnetic Curtain Tiebacks, for example, are priced at only $8.69. This product comes in a variety of colors, which allows you to make a selection that complements the design of your curtains. The Fenghuangwu Curtain Tiebacks Tassel Tie-Backs are another great choice. They feature a tassel, which may help your curtains appear even more high-end. This item is listed on Amazon for $9.99.

Before getting started with adding scalloped trim to your curtains, you will need to round up your supplies. If you like the look of the felt fabric detailing shown in the Instagram clip above, you can purchase the same fabric for $6.99 per yard from Hobby Lobby. Feel free to use any fabric of your choice, though. Consider browsing your local fabric store for a color, design, or pattern that complements the curtains you plan to add the scalloped detailing to.

You can snag iron-on hem tape from Amazon. The site sells HeatnBond Hem Iron-On Adhesive for $2.17. As you can see in the clip posted by @tinalemac, a scalloped design was used to guide the cutting of the felt fabric. You can search online for your favorite scalloped design, and then print it out to use for this project. The last items you will need are fabric scissors and an iron. You likely already have these items home, but do not forget to purchase them ahead of time if you do not.
