If you’ve been following along with my recent bathroom renovation then you have been able to be a part of picking out paint colors and you’ve seen all the hard work behind the scenes through Instagram stories and pictures. If you are new to the Click and Love world, then you can see the before and after here or you can follow along on Insta to watch the reel!

For my son’s bathroom project I needed a special length and width for a shower curtain which meant a DIY was on the horizon. Plus, custom drapery can be pretty pricey and I was committed to staying within budget for this bathroom reno. I couldn’t find a shower curtain that I just loved much less a shower curtain that I loved AND fit the size requirements I needed for this space. I definitely wanted to add pattern to this bathroom, so what better way than finding a fun and subtle shower curtain? I didn’t want anything too overwhelming pattern wise, so when I came across this small scale blue print, I knew it was the one.

Now for the interesting part, this beautiful print was on a bed sheet…not a shower curtain which is where the fun begins. Maybe you’re on the hunt for the perfect shower curtain but you can’t find one that you’re just in love with? Maybe you haven’t you’re working on a project that requires a shower curtain that is a bit longer and wider than the typical curtain? Maybe you have a sheet lying around that is a gorgeous color or has an eye-catching pattern and you want to make use of it again? If so, keep reading because this DIY is super simple and budget friendly.

What You’ll Need

• Bed Sheet (I used a queen size bed sheet because that was the best length and width for my space.)

• Drapery Pleat Trim with Pleater Hooks

• Fabric Fuse, Stitch Witch, or Heat Bond

• Iron

Step by Step

1. Cut the trim and fabric fuse to length.

2. Iron to apply first strip of fabric fuse.

3. Add second strip of fabric fuse

4. Put pleater hooks in loops. Use all four prongs to create
   the pinch pleat look. Make sure to skip loops in between
   hooks. I only skipped one loop due to the width of my
   space. I would suggest leaving 1-3 empty loops between
   each hook.

5. Adjust pleats after hooks are adding and iron out any
   wrinkles.

6. Hang!

TIP: if your fabric or sheet is too long or too wide, you can cut it to size and use the fabric fuse to hem it.

I love the pattern on this particular bed sheet. Here is the link if you are looking for the exact sheet I used!
