How to Make a Designer Shower Curtain from Luxury Bath Towels

Designer shower curtains can be quite expensive but so luxurious. You can easily make your bathroom into your very own spa with 2 plush bath towels to make a designer shower curtain that will put your shower above the rest.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 2 luxury bath towels
• Sewing machine
• Grommet kit
• Tape measurer
• Shower curtain bar

1. Take two terry-cloth bath towels that equal the length of a normal designer shower curtain (70-72 inches wide by 72-74 inches long). You can buy new towels or even use the ones that you already have.

2. Use white towels to give a clean look to your bathroom. Use colored or even patterned towels for your shower curtain to give some character to your bathroom.

3. Overlap the edges of the bath towels and sew them together. Stitch down the finished edges of the towels until they are securely sewn together all the way down.

4. Use a grommet kit, which can be found at most fabric stores to add the grommets near the top of the designer shower curtain.

5. Determine the correct spacing of the grommet holes by measuring the full width of the shower curtain and subtract 4 inches to leave 2 inches free at each side. Divide that number by 12, which is the common number of holes in a designer shower curtain.

6. Hang the designer shower curtain along with a shower liner from the curtain bar so that the seam is inside the shower. Adjust the height of the bar if needed.

Tips & Warnings

• If the bath towels are extra thick, you may have trouble with your sewing machine and may have to hand sew with a larger and sturdier knitting needle if necessary.
