I don't have the patience nor time to drill in holes, put up a curtain rod, and pick out curtains to transform almost five windows in my apartment. So I went the cheap route. I had a lot of extra fabric (from Wal-Mart) of course, so I literally took two push pins, hung up my fabric and cut it at the bottom where I wanted. So now I have long random cloth hanging from each window, not the best looking deal. So I picked up some lace ribbon from Wal-Mart for $3 and tide it around the middle of the curtain. I wanted to add some color so I found random pink and green ribbon in my apartment and doubled it up with the lace. My curtains are far from professional but it was just one other way to make my apartment come together. When people walk in, this is one of the first things they see and even before any other decorations were placed up on our walls, they always said it was well decorated. So like I always say, if you find a bold print of colored fabric, it can go a long long way! I also had an old closet/shower curtain from freshmen year. It was a cute black and white damask and chandelier printed piece of fabric that allowed a rod to go through it at the top. I apologize, this tip right here shows just how poor of a college student I really am, but I place two 3M hooks on each side of the window, place a cheap rod on them, and hung my curtain! After tying it back with my lace and colored ribbon, it definitely added so much more to my room and it only took less than two minutes!
