  1. Step 1
    Adjustable tension rod

    Measure your window and purchase a tension rod to fit. I have a standard 32 inch window, most bathroom windows may be smaller. Securely insert tension rod in window. Give a little tug to make sure it's in there.

  2. Step 2

    Choose two hand towels that match your shower curtain. You may even have towels that match. I like to use towels that have some sort of design. Check out the discount stores for great bargains on hand towels.

    Drape towels over tension rod, adjust to an even length, and pull close together to avoid a gap. Again, give a little tug to make sure the tension rod is secure. You decide how short or long you would like them.

Tips & Warnings
  • You can make a top and bottom curtain using the same technique, depending on your preference.
  • Always check out the discount stores for hand towels.
  • This project cost me $5.00. The rod was $1 and each towel was $2.
  • Make sure the rod is placed securely in the window.
  • Do not use towels that are too heavy or bulky
