Smile Make a swag for your doorway

Measure the doorway, purchase a spring loaded curtain rod with the rubber tips on the ends, you can find the rod at a Wal-mart. Double the amount of fabric you need for the swag or topper, your choice and have the fabric store cut that much for you. Pin your fabric, make a casing at the top of your fabric, sew it closed on your sewing machine or by hand, then hang your swag or curtain topper on your curtain rod in your doorway, towards the top of your doorway. This will soften a doorway which is too square or too tall. I'm making one to match my curtains with off white and burgundy check fabric. It's a simple, fairly inexpensive way to decorate on a budget. The price for my fabric and thread was just $17.00, but I'm sure you can do better if you can find your fabric on sale.

Re: Make a swag for your doorway

I am wanting to make one for my bay window. Thanks for the tips! I am having trouble finding pictures or advise on dressing bay windows.

Re: Make a swag for your doorway

Bay windows, are those the types that kind of bend outwards? Maybe some white sheers would look nice.

Re: Make a swag for your doorway

yes, bay windows are the ones that bend out. I think I am going to get those cloth blinds for each panel for complete privacy and darkening but I am unsure about the curtain part. I have not seen many bay window dressings and I would like something to let in the light but still have a little privacy. I want to get some sheers to drape over the top and down the sides of the whole window but I was unsure of how it would look to have some that oyu could close over the whole window. I guess it would not be much different from a regular window but I am not experienced with such things and I am certainly not an interior decorator.
Maybe I will win a sweepstakes and get someone in here to do it all for me, or at the very least advise me! LOL!!

God Bless!!
