6. No-Sew Coffee Sack Cafe Curtain
You can make your own cafe curtain or window valance, ideal for the window near the kitchen sink, from an old burlap coffee or flour sack, according to decorating blog Funky Junk Interiors. Choose part of the sack that has graphics on it for the most visual impact. Cut the burlap as wide as the window, then cut the length to a short cafe curtain or valance size, adding two extra inches.
Fray the sides and bottom of the burlap by pulling threads out to give it a well-worn look. Glue the top edge to a dowel rod cut to fit into curtain rod holders installed near the top of the window. For more opaque curtains, add another fabric to the back of the liner using fabric glue.
The total estimated cost for a no-sew coffee sack cafe curtain is $21.23. Here’s what you’ll need:
Burlap coffee sack: $5.99
Dowel rod: $7.25
Curtain rod holders: $7.99
