![]() There does not have to be any measuring when they are being clipped into place. The seam in the drop cloth is right down the center so I hung them over just far enough to cover the seam and it looks perfect! I bought the large painter’s drop cloth so it would be extra long and then hung my rods accordingly to give them some draping at the bottom on the floor. ![]() I wanted my curtains fluffy, poofy, and dreamy so I knew I wanted to have a lot of over hang. I love that they have them in Antique Bronze color too! Just make sure the circumference is large enough that they will fit on the curtain rod that you end up choosing. I found these drapery clips at a thrift store (but you can also find them hereand here) and they worked perfect on my thrifted wooden rods for clipping the drop cloths up. Several times I had to go and untangle them in the dryer so that they would dry more evenly. It’s tough to get the wrinkles out of these large pieces in the dryer when they get all wadded up. You can still see some wrinkles up close but it is not noticeable when standing away from them and I think that the one that I ironed is not quite as fluffy as the others. I didn’t iron all of mine but the ones that were extra wrinkly, I did. They soften up really quick and the more you wash them the softer they get. I just washed mine in hot water with detergent and dryed them. If you have felt these drop cloths before they are pretty stiff when you buy them. I started off by washing the canvas drop cloths. ![]() I think when I asked my teacher 20x for help, she just decided to finish it for me, hence why painter’s canvas drop cloths are the perfect curtains for me! I’m sure many of you have already seen these curtains around in others homes, but I thought I would just give you a quick overview of how I hung mine, how they turned out, and where you can find some (and other items I used for this project) through the affiliate links that I will be adding. Do they still do that? Maybe they do, I guess I’m not so sure. Yes, I am that old, where they still taught sewing at my high school. Even in my home economics sewing class in high school, I conned my teacher into finishing my project. I have never been one that has been patient enough to sew.
