PVC Pipe Curtain Rods {AGAIN}

I showed you in this post and this post how to use PVC Pipe to make cheap and awesome curtain rods!

Well, I did it again!  Miss J's room has been in need of some new window treatments for a while.  A very plain window...

First, I found some fabric that I really liked. I made two simple panels, long enough for Miss J's tall windows.  (even if you are a sewing newbie, curtains are very easy!!) I was going for simple and kind of Pottery Barn-ish.

 Next, I got some PVC Pipe, and cut it to size.  I then primed it and spray painted it.  I used primer made especially for plastic to prevent scratching.

Next, I primed and spray painted some ugly finials I had laying around.  Ewww.

They looked muuuuuuch better after some paint!

After I put up the white brackets I bought, I attached my finials.  I just use hot glue.  It's strong enough to hold it on, and will pop off easily if I ever need to take it down.  It's a win win!

I did not like the fact that you could see the hot glue.....

So, I added a thin piece of ribbon to hide it!

Here are some finished shots:

Before:

After:

Project Cost:

Primer/Spray Paint:  Free (already had both)

Finials: Free (leftover from previous project)

PVC Pipe: $1.38

Wood Brackets: $9

Total Cost: $10.38

If I could figure out how to go cheaper on the brackets, this project could cost basically nothing!
