DIY Custom Window Treatments:: Painted and Stenciled Curtains

If you’re looking for high style window treatments, but your a bit short on cash, you can create your own amazing diy curtains and draperies with some inexpensive fabric or ready-made panels, a stencil or painters tape, paint, and a good dose of imagination.  I’m in the process of creating my own painted curtains for my hallway project and needed some inspiration, so I thought I’d share these awesome painted curtains and stenciled curtains with you also just in case you’re in need of some inexpensive window treatment inspiration also.

  1. Thanks so much for including my curtains. I love all these ideas and may be using some as inspiration for my next curtain project! Love it! Thanks!

  2. I wonder if this could be done with just a plain down comforter. I’ve been searching and searching for something for my 9 year old son’s room and everything I see is either too “little boyish” or wayyyy too expensive. I’m thinking maybe some circles in shades of navy, sage green and tan? Anybody got any ideas if this would work with a plain white machine washable down comforter?

    1. Hi Sherri. You probably could paint a comforter, but keep these things in mind. Will the paint leak through to either the feathers or the other side of the comforter? If the feathers get paint, I can imagine them drying together forming a hard mass between the comforter. Second, you will need to add a fabric medium to your paint, if you are not using fabric paint. This will let you wash the comforter without messing up your work.

      I say go for it. If never hurts to try. Yeah, you might be out a comforter, but in the end you can say you tried it. Maybe buy a thrift store blanket and try it on that first?

  3. Thank you again for the feature! You’re great and honestly painted curtains are the WAY TO GO! You really get your moneys worth out of the time you put into making your own DIY curtains!
