Here are two easy tutorials: outdoor curtains made from a drop cloth and hung on an industrial pipe rod, and nautical-themed tie backs made from rope.

As I sit in my screened-in-porch this lovely Sunday evening with a light breeze and curtains blocking the heat of the sun, I thought I should share another DIY project I recently finished up. I may have mentioned before, but I will again. This past spring my husband and I had a screened-in-porch added to our home. I’ve been working hard to furnish and decorate the space with projects like Bianca the Bench and Porch Coffee Table with Built-in Cooler. We love our new porch. Although, we do not love how close our porch is to our neighbors outdoor area. Oh don’t get me wrong, I love our neighbors, however, a little privacy would be nice. We knew what we were getting into when we purchased a new home in a densely populated area outside of DC. Additionally, when the sun sets, the lights pours into the porch from this side and is blinding. So I had plenty of reason to purchase outdoor curtains for our new porch. I even invested in the fancy, real outdoor curtains that are fade resistant, water resistant, machine washable… basically indestructible. I plan to use the curtains year after year. I did purchase the curtains on sale and with a coupon but they still were not cheap. Then the time came to figure out how I would hang the curtains. I was determined to find a cheaper way to create an outdoor rod than these expensive rods, since I needed about 50 ft to cover the perimeter of the porch. After significant pinterest research and a trip to the hardware store, I found a solution and developed a plan = PVC Pipe. I found this site helpful for the rod brackets. I’ll start with the brackets. Below is my list of material: EMT 1-1/4 in. 1-Hole Strap (4-Pack) $2.00 Everbilt 4 in. Corner Braces (4-Pack) $7.24 (Rust Resistant for outdoor use) Everbilt round head combo, 1/4 in – 20 x 5/8 in 5 pack, which I can’t seem to find online but I assure you were less than $2. Rust-Oleum Painter’s Touch 2X Flat White General Purpose Spray Paint $3.87 So for about $15 + Tax, I created 4 brackets in the color of my choice! Full disclosure, the corner braces did come with screws. However, I did purchase 1.5\

These curtains make me want to get married again! Something about these flowy romantic white curtains are just SWOONWORTHY.

DIY Patio Curtain Tie Backs: I HATED to spend a fortune on patio curtain tie-backs. I spent enough on the curtains, so I wanted to save money on these!
For the Home
See how I made some really inexpensive PVC pipe curtain rods to hold long, sheer porch curtains for around $15. After getting all the supplies at Lowe’s, I was able to measure, cut, and install the outdoor curtain rods and hang the curtain panels on my front porch in about 1 hour myself. They are holding up perfectly (even after storms and heavy gusts of wind). And they look great!
