Great tip for reusing the upper strip of fabric with the clips still attached. I've done this a few times and it turned out well each time. Great tutorial
Wonderful! Definitely check your local Costco because the blackout curtains there are so much cheaper and better quality then anywhere else I could find.
I thought about doing this, but I didn't want to have to put up bars and take down bars every time I popped up the camper. These tracks are easy to keep if you have them already installed, but in a hard sided trailer I would totally use this method!!

Great video, curious what you think about glue for this project? I don't sew at all....if I cut the trim with the clips off my old curtains like you did (what an awesome idea by the way). Do you think I could glue the fabric with clips to the top of the new curtain?
I bet it would work! I haven't really worked with fabric glue much, but I have even heard of a iron on stitch? I bet both would work fine as long as when they are up you are a little more aware of the seem (not pulling too much on them if that makes sense). :)
Thank you so much Diannah! I am all about fast and easy! I don’t like to measure and I’m not a fan of following a pattern. 😂 so I try to find ways around it that are more practical for me!
Can’t find these curtains anywhere. 🥲 Was the size 52”width and 84”length? Or 45”width and 84”length? In the video I think you said 84” length by 104” wide. Which after searching I think the 104”wide is 52x2 which would be what it was if both panels are together. I love your idea and I want to try it. Can you clarify? I could be totally wrong. Thanks!
Oh my gosh I am the worst and honestly cant remember. I will say that I got them at Costco (I know costco never has the same stuff!), but I would suggest somewhere like Amazon, and just get the biggest ones you can find! Because cutting and hemming is so easy! I hope this helps!
I didn’t! But I have seen people add curtain rods and completely remove the clips all together. The curtain rods that stay up with tension are decent and will stay up even when it’s down (in my pop up at least I would have been able to do that). So maybe that’s an option for you! I’m sorry I can’t be more help!
Oh good question, I believe I bought 4 packs of two. They were super cheap so I wasn’t too worried about having extra and it ended up being the perfect amount for our space.
You had me at, I don't like to measure! Lol.
Haha I just won’t do it 😂
Me too!!! 😂😂😂 I hate to measure anything!!!

Thank you!! Yea I was like this is too good to just toss! 😍🙌🏻
I'm wondering since I don't have a sewing machine I could definitely use hem tape for the sides but could I also use it for the clip part??,
I'm about to make my curtains, so glad I saw this! Thank you.

Make it even simpler and they have little tabs now with grommet rings and you can just pop the tabs in and hang the curtain
Can you link a product or explain this method ...I don't sew and I'm looking for ideas to put up new curtains.
Can you tell me more about this product? Bc i don’t have the original curtains. Thanks

@@laurynejuneprojects1443 I don’t ever take my bars down. They are above the track that used to hold the old curtain not in the way

Those bloody plastic clips are very expensive
Thank you! I had no idea what I was going to do to replace or reuse those curtain clips😊. I feel I have a chance at making new curtains now!😊😊
I love hearing this!! It was super easy to add them and is way easier then having to hand stitch in new ones!

Thank you!! Great idea and awesome tutorial. Fast and EASY! I love it. 💖👍🏻🌟

I thought your video was very informative. And eye opening! I am with you! Why do things the hard way when you can do them simple!
Oh my gosh I absolutely agree. Once we are in our new house and I have sewing space again, expect lots more!! 😍
Can you show a picture of them installed ?
If you go to my insta @laurynejune_projects and scroll back a ways you will see them!
Hang two of the scrap pieces side by side, install rods in holes and make a ladder style rack
Love this! Thank you jase!
Did you by chance find a link to the clips to hang the curtains? We bought a camper and it's actually missing most of them.
I didn’t! But I have seen people add curtain rods and completely remove the clips all together.

Esty has the c clips.
How many panels total did you need for all curtains?
Oh good question, I believe I bought 4 packs of two. They were super cheap so I wasn’t too worried about having extra and it ended up being the perfect amount for our space.
Did you cut them in half lengthwise or width?
I cut them length wise (so some I would have to cut the side with holes for a real curtain rod).
Thank you for sharing your experiences. Your DIY videos have been very helpful.
Do you sew over the c clips when your sewing?
I didn’t mess with them at all, I just sewed right along the edge! That way the original stitching isn’t effected! 🙌🏻
Great video
Thank you!! So good for budget work as well! I mean you could even thrift curtains and turn them into your own! So simple.
Super helpful thank you
So happy it helped!
this is fabulous!
Thank you!!
Thanks!
Thank you!
Love this idea! I totally did this the hard way last year. Lol
Thank you Lauryn.
You are so welcome!
