I made these diy curtain rods for my stepdaughter's dorm room using 2 Dollar Tree broom sticks and some super glue! It only cost $3 each including the glue! And if I had needed to use my own command hooks it would've still only cost me $4 per window! View the full blog post here: www.theniftynester.com/dollar-...

@TheNiftyNester 3 года назад

That's a good idea. They held up fine but we were using those lightweight sheets so it wasn't anything heavy putting weight on the broomsticks. If you have heavier curtains though that might be necessary.

You don’t need to glue them. Just use one on each side of the window. Use roller shades so your curtain doesn’t move and always stay looking good.

Can you still pull the blinds back in the forth with the faux plants being there? Do you have a video on applying the faux plants?

@TheNiftyNester 3 года назад

I know she opened the curtains regularly but I think she just pulled them back, I don't know that she ever slid the curtain all the way back and forth to open them. I did share us hanging the plants in the full dorm room makeover video if you want to check that out, but I didn't go in to a ton of detail. We just draped them across the rod, leaving some hanging off on the sides. We made adjustments until it looked right to us.
